Víctor Basterra estaba en su casa con su esposa y la bebé de ambos. Era 1979 y el gobierno militar que de facto se había hecho cargo del Poder Ejecutivo argentino cometía aberrantes crímenes en la clandestinidad con la excusa de la lucha contra la subversión. Basterra es separado de su familia y brutalmente golpeado. En la Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (ESMA) fue torturado y permaneció secuestrado hasta el final del régimen, en 1983, aunque continuó vigilado y amenazado hasta casi un año después. Obligado a trabajar para el régimen por sus conocimientos como obrero gráfico, Basterra estiró los límites de su seguridad (ya de por sí en peligro) en pos de registrar y archivar documentos, fotos y escritos que ayudaron a reconocer tanto a victimarios como a víctimas al regreso de la democracia. Su valioso testimonio ante el Juzgado de Instrucción N° 30 (que incluyó la documentación retirada de la ahora ex ESMA) se transformó en una publicación del CELS que, a 49 años del golpe, quisimos compartir en formato de audiolibro. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pre producción y voz: CECILIA BONA Editó este episodio: DANY FERNÁNDEZ (@danyrap.f) para @activandoproducciones.proyecto ¡Ayudanos a crecer!

Speaker: Dr Bernadette Zelger, University of InnsbruckAbstract: The debate about the future of the European Union has long left academic circles, arrived in the midst of society and been awarded political attention. Meanwhile, there has been an increase of Euroscepticism accompanied by more nationalist political developments echoed in the swings to the right all across the EU. These developments may, arguably at least in parts, be explained by social resentments of the peoples of Europe. While acknowledging that law constructs and contributes to a social reality of its own it is thus, arguably also about the lack of a genuine socio-economic equilibrium within the law and political system of the EU. This imbalance is not only found within the EU legal constitutional framework, but also within the case-law of the European Court of Justice. However, possible solutions to solve this socio-economic imbalance are limited: It is either (i) Treaty reform or, alternatively, (ii) a change in the approach of the Court in its jurisprudence. While these alternatives are both valid and, to some extent, mutually exclusive, they unveil and epitomise different visions as regards the future of the European Union. However, while acknowledging the differences in the approach, they are arguably different means to serve the very same end: Warrant the European Union's future success.

Speaker: Professor Orla Lynskey, University College London Abstract: The EU ‘digital empire' seeks to align technological development to its rights and values by adopting and promoting a rights-driven model of technological regulation. Bradford's influential characterisation of EU digital strategy is credible when one maps the array of legal ‘Acts' applicable to data, digital markets, digital services and AI adopted by the EU in recent years, all of which are without prejudice to the EU data protection law. Yet, when one delves deeper, the EU's commitment to rights-based regulation of the digital sphere is not iron-clad. Rather, as we demonstrate through an empirical analysis of the European Commission's adequacy decisions over a quarter of a century (1999-2024), there are clear divergences amongst EU institutions about the balance to be struck between fundamental rights and economic interests. Such divergence suggest the EU might more accurately be characterised as an amalgamation of fiefdoms rather than an empire. This inter-institutional dynamic is relevant to the legitimacy of EU actions in the digital sphere and may foreshadow the future direction of EU data law.For more information see:https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/weekly-seminar-series

Speaker: Dr Andriani Kalintiri, King's College LondonAbstract: Is EU antitrust law resilient in the face of change? This question has acquired prominence amidst the many crises and disruptions of recent times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and digitalisation. Attempts to answer it though have been rather narrow in scope and tend to employ the language of resilience casually. This article contributes to knowledge (a) by developing a conceptual framework for understanding and assessing legal resilience in administrative enforcement systems and (b) by applying it to Articles 101 and 102 TFEU with a view to investigating its ability to respond to change in a systematic manner. The analysis reveals that the current regime exhibits several design features that enable decisionmakers to make resilience choices as needed, and the resilience choices that have been made on various occasions are prima facie justifiable given the nature of the problem the European Commission and/or the EU Courts were faced with. However, certain aspects of the existing legal framework may weaken or limit EU antitrust law's ability to deal with certain problems, in particular (very) complex ones, whereas some of the resilience choices that have been made have had implications for legal certainty, coherence and legitimacy that may not have been sufficiently appreciated so far. The article highlights the added value of a legal resilience perspective for effectively using EU antitrust law as a tool for tackling problems in an ever-changing world and demonstrates that, albeit not a panacea, such a perspective may reinforce the quality of enforcement and public's trust in it.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners: https://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/centre-activitiesFor more information about CELS see: https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/weekly-seminar-series

Speaker: Professor Barend van Leeuwen, Durham UniversityAbstract: What do we mean when we talk about the "horizontal direct effect" of the free movement provisions? You would think that, after decades of case law on the free movement provisions, the meaning of this concept should be relatively clear and crystallised. However, there is still a significant amount of disagreement about the very meaning of the concept of "horizontal direct effect". While some EU lawyers speak of horizontal direct effect when the free movement provisions are applied in a dispute between private parties (a procedural approach), other EU lawyers will only refer to horizontal direct effect when the rule or conduct that is being challenged is of a private nature (a substantive approach). This paper will analyse these different interpretations of the concept of horizontal direct effect through the lens of the "Familiapress dilemma". It will be argued that a distinction should be made between horizontal direct effect cases (in which private rules or actions are challenged in a dispute between private parties) and horizontal enforcement cases (in which State rules or actions are challenged in a dispute between private parties). The problem with a procedural approach to horizontal direct effect is that no connection is made between direct effect and the question of who is held responsible (and liable) for breaches of the free movement provisions. This makes it more difficult to provide effective judicial protection to victims of breaches of free movement law, because it is unclear who should ultimately "pay the bill". Against this background, it will be argued that the CJEU should develop more explicit techniques or "formulas" to allocate responsibility in free movement cases. In parallel, the CJEU should improve the effectiveness of the remedies of State liability and private liability for breaches of the free movement provisions.For more information see:https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/weekly-seminar-series

Entretien mené par Christian Casaubon & Julie Gresh Tandis qu'au volant de sa voiture de location, il fait le tour de la France par les bords, Philippe Jaenada ne peut s'ôter de la tête l'image de cette jeune femme qui, à l'aube du 28 novembre 1953, s'est écrasée sur le trottoir de la rue Cels, derrière le cimetière du Montparnasse. Elle s'appelait Jacqueline Harispe, elle avait vingt ans, on la surnommait Kaki. Elle passait son existence Chez Moineau, un café de la rue du Four où quelques très jeunes gens, serrés les uns contre les autres, jouissaient de l'instant sans l'ombre d'un projet d'avenir. Sans le vouloir ni le savoir, ils inventaient une façon d'être sous le regard glacé du jeune Guy Debord qui, plus tard, fera son miel de leur désinvolture suicidaire. Dans ce livre magnifique, Philippe Jaenada a cherché à savoir, à comprendre pourquoi une si jolie jeune femme, intelligente et libre, entourée d'amis, une fille que la vie semblait amuser, amoureuse d'un beau soldat américain, s'est jetée, un matin d'automne, par la fenêtre d'une chambre d'hôtel.

A casi 30 años del atentado contra la Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos condenó este viernes a la Argentina por faltas en la prevención e investigación del ataque perpetrado en Buenos Aires, que en 1994 dejó 85 muertos y más de 300 heridos. Una sentencia celebrada por los familiares de las víctimas y el Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales, quienes impulsaron la demanda internacional hace ya 25 años. Por Marianela Mayer Tras décadas de impunidad, la justicia dio este viernes la razón a los familiares de las víctimas del atentado contra la Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, más conocida como AMIA.La Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos consideró al estado argentino como responsable de violar los derechos humanos de las víctimas y sus familiares, así como el derecho colectivo a la verdad. En consecuencia, Argentina deberá comprometerse con las investigaciones y las medidas de reparación.La decisión se conoce a un mes de que se cumplan 30 años del ataque y 25 años después de que los familiares de las víctimas, reunidos en la asociación Memoria Activa, presentaran la demanda internacional junto al Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales, CELS.Diana Wassner, quien perdió a su marido en el atentado e integra la agrupación, celebró la noticia: “Es un hito histórico, no solamente en la causa AMIA, creo que es un hito también en nuestro país porque es una sentencia muy fuerte, muy contundente de una condena absoluta al estado argentino, en donde se le dice que el Estado incumplió todo lo que veníamos denunciando. En primer lugar, el Estado tenía la responsabilidad de cuidar a los ciudadanos y, de hecho, lo incumplió aún a sabiendas de que podía ocurrir un atentado; y después todos los diferentes estamentos del Estado que estuvieron involucrados en el encubrimiento. Es horrible que esto pase, también tiene que ser de alguna manera un hito en que esto no puede volver a pasar”.También la directora del CELS, Paula Litvachky, destacó la relevancia del fallo, que fija estándares jurídicos para la región: “Es un impacto político, obviamente, y un impacto en términos reparatorios y tiene un impacto jurídico también. El estado argentino, (le) es obligatorio cumplir las decisiones de la Corte Interamericana. Ya tiene un impacto muy claro vinculado al establecimiento de una verdad, sobre cómo fueron estos 30 años y tiene que ver con parte lo que dijo la Corte, que el Estado argentino, sus acciones concretas fueron las responsables de que hoy no haya una respuesta adecuada, no solo a las víctimas, sino a la sociedad argentina.”Ahora comienza otra etapa, la de controlar que el estado argentino cumpla con lo dispuesto.“Cuando me refiero al estado argentino, no se refiere únicamente al poder ejecutivo, también al poder judicial y al poder legislativo. El poder judicial tiene mucha responsabilidad y tiene cosas para revertir esta situación. No es mera retórica. También, vinculado a la reconstrucción de la verdad, no únicamente con el atentado, sino con todo lo que fueron las maniobras de desvío y de encubrimiento de la investigación, y hay todo un capítulo vinculado a la desclasificación de información. Estamos pasando por un momento político también medio complicado y hay que ver qué posición toma el poder ejecutivo, pero no se trata de que solo el poder ejecutivo cumpla, sino los tres poderes”.Aunque el daño fue muy importante, tienen expectativas en lograr una mayor transparencia del Estado.

Speakers: Professor Eleanor Sharpston KC, Advocate General, CJEU (2006-2020) and Goodhart Professor, University of Cambridge (2023/2024) and Dr Markus W. Gehring, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law and Member of CELS. Abstract: On 18 September 2023 the Group of 12 Experts from both France and Germany released their proposal ‘Sailing on High Seas: Reforming and Enlarging the EU for the 21st Century'. The Group make two proposals on the Rule of Law and five further proposals for institutional reform. Overall, the Group had three objectives to increase the EU's capacity to act, to get the institutions ready for enlargement and strengthen democratic legitimacy and rule of law. This resulted in a series of proposals for inter alia treaty change. The proposals are all on a continuum but largely aim for reform rather than a recreation of the European Union. They align with other reform proposals and at times take up proposals that were made for EU reform in the past or indeed discussed during the EU Constitutional convention process in the early 2000s. The objective here was clearly reformation rather than revolution. This conversation discusses some of the individual reform proposals in the context of the practice of the Court of Justice – could these proposal mean the beginning of 'Europe's Second Constitution'?For more information see:https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/weekly-seminar-series

Speaker: Professor Eleanor Sharpston KC, Advocate General, CJEU (2006-2020) and Goodhart Professor, University of Cambridge (2023/2024)Abstract: As an AG Professor Sharpston worked on religious discrimination and employment matters, delivering an opinion in one of the first two hijab cases (Bougnaoui) and then the ‘shadow opinion' in Wabe and Müller, which she posted via Professor Steve Peers' EU law blog after leaving the Court. She has already compared Achbita and Bougnaoui to the decisions in Egenberger and the Caritas hospital case (IR v JQ) in her festschrift contribution for Allan Rosas. Unsurprisingly, she has been keeping an eye open for further developments in that case law (WABE and Müller, S.C.R.L (Religious clothing) and, most recently, Commune d'Ans (Grand Chamber, 28 November 2023). Additionally, she has also been looking at what the Court has been saying in relation to ritual slaughter of animals (as required for meat-eating observant Jews and Muslims). Notable cases include Liga van Moskeeën, Oeuvre d'assistance aux bêtes d'abattoirs (OABA) and Centraal Israëlitisch Constistorie. The case law of the European Court of Human Rights also addresses these issues: Eweida v UK on religious symbols in the workplace, and the very recent decision (13 February 2024) in Executief van de Moslims van België and Others v Belgium on banning ritual slaughter of animals without prior stunning. The cases are constitutionally important in terms of the deference shown to Member States; and in some respects, they are troubling for anyone who is religious and non-Christian.Discussion chaired by Dr Markus W.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. The Independent Power Producer Office (IPPO) has confirmed that the deadline for submissions under Bid Window Seven (BW7) of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme has been extended by a month to May 30 to accommodate both grid-connection quotes and a curtailment addendum published by Eskom. The IPPO told Engineering News that a briefing note extending the timeline for application for grid cost estimate letters (CELs) to February 15 was issued at the end of January following requests from potential bidders at a bidders' conference that took place on January 17. "As a result of the extension of the CEL application timeline, and following consultation with Eskom, the department has approved the consequent extension of the bid submission date to allow Eskom more time to process the CEL applications, and also taking into consideration further requests from bidders to allow more time for the preparation of their bid responses. "After following the due processes, the CEL application date extension was communicated via a briefing note on 31 January 2024, and the bid submission extension via a briefing note on 8 March 2024," the IPPO explained in response to questions posed by Engineering News. On whether the decision was influenced by the curtailment addendum to the Grid Capacity Connection Assessment (GCCA 2025), the office responded: "Yes, the extension of the CEL application timeline was influenced by the curtailment addendum that allows prospective bidders to bid projects in areas unlocked by the curtailment addendum." Published in January following the launch of BW7 on December 14, the GCCA 2025 addendum states that 3 470 MW of additional grid capacity to connect wind generation will be made available by accepting a "reasonable share of no more than 10% of curtailment". A total of 2 680 MW of this capacity is available in the Western Cape and 790 MW in the Eastern Cape. The absence of such a framework during BW6 meant that none of the wind projects that had been vying for a 3 200 MW allocation advanced to preferred-bidder status. Earlier, Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa confirmed that the capacity unlocked through curtailment was "immediately available, while the IPPO confirmed with Engineering News that the addendum enabled the department "to award wind projects within the Eastern and Western Cape in alignment with the provisions of the request for proposals". Asked what the new BW7 deadline meant for the launch of BW8, under which another 5 000 MW of wind and solar will be allocated for procurement and which was proposed for release by the end of March, the IPPO said: "The official timelines for Bid Window 8 will be communicated as soon as governance approvals have been granted."

Grid constraints cast shadow over South Africa's seventh renewables bid window

South Africa's grid constraints are continuing to cast a shadow over the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), the seventh bidding round for which was launched in December for 3 200 MW of onshore wind and 1 800 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) after months of delay. Independent Power Producer Office head Bernard Magoro told prospective REIPPPP Bid Window Seven (BW7) bidders during a virtual conference on January 17 that the delays were largely attributed to concerns over the availability of grid-connection capacity in the wind- and solar-rich Eastern, Western and Northern Cape provinces. Various interventions and solutions had been considered following the partial failure of BW6, during which none of the wind projects vying for a 3 200 MW allocation were selected as preferred bids after Eskom indicated that the gird capacity on which they were premised had been consumed. Therefore, only bids for 1 000 MW of solar PV advanced to the preferred-bidder stage. The development resulted in Eskom introducing an interim grid allocation solution that departs from the previous 'first come, first served' approach to one that prioritises so-called 'shovel-ready projects', while it also sought approval for a new 'gated' approach that would enable it to set aside specific capacity for public and private procurement cycles. Eskom also indicated that it would adopt a new curtailment framework that could unlock immediate connection capacity in those areas that are described in its most recent Generation Connection Capacity Assessment as having 'zero' capacity. The document indicates that there is 19.9 GW of grid capacity elsewhere in the country, however. Both proposed solutions have been submitted to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) for noting and approval but they have not been integrated into the BW7 request for proposals (RFP). It does, however, include a modest change to the curtailment approach by removing the previous threshold restricting compensation for energy than could not be absorbed by the grid so as to "optimise the management of available grid capacity". In addition, BW7 allows for bidders to bid based on grid-connection cost estimate letters (CELs) and valid budget quotes (BQs), instead of CELs alone. There is also potential for bidders to access capacity recovered as a result of the expiry of BQs for projects that failed to achieve financial close under both BW5 and the Risk Mitigation procurement programme. Eskom announced the expiry in early January of five Risk Mitigation BQs and there is a likelihood of further expiries arising from BW5. Nevertheless, prospective bidders for the allocation in REIPPPP BW7 could have to rely heavily on prospects outside of those regions with the most potent renewable resources, while Nersa continues to consider the new curtailment and grid allocation frameworks for future rounds. MORE RENEWABLES, BATTERY & GAS PROCUREMENT SOON Magoro indicated that BW8 for another 5 000 MW of renewables could be launched before the end of government's financial year, which runs to the end of March. Likewise the office is also preparing a third battery storage auction for 616 MW and a Coega-specific gas-to-power bid window, which will have a request for qualifications phase ahead of the RFP. These would be in addition to the second bidding round under way for 615 MW of battery storage and the inaugural gas-to-power auction for 2 000 MW. The grid, Magoro said, would remain a challenge for the future rounds. But he expressed optimism that all the components proposed for managing grid capacity and grid allocations would be in place for the upcoming bid windows. Besides the modification to BW7's approach to curtailment, the other new elements introduced as part of the RFP include: A reduction, from 100% to 80%, in the government guarantee framework should Eskom, which remains the buyer, fail to pay, while the 100% guarantee remains in place for any gover...

On this ID The Future, host Casey Luskin talks with Eric Anderson on location at this year's Conference on Engineering and Living Systems (CELS). The two discuss an intriguing new engineering-based model of bounded adaptation that could dramatically change how we view small-scale evolutionary changes within populations of organisms. In presenting his argument for natural selection, Charles Darwin pointed to small changes like finch beak size and peppered moth color as visible evidence of an unguided evolutionary process at work. Many have adopted this perspective, quick to grant the Darwinian mechanism credit for micro, if not macro, evolution. But Anderson and other attendees of the CELS conference are starting to promote a different view. "We need to stop saying organisms are partly designed," says Anderson. "We need to view them as deeply designed and purposeful, active and engaged in their environments, and capable of adapting within their operating parameters." Tune in to get a fascinating glimpse of this novel approach to biology. Source

The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS), Centre for Public Law (CPL) and the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law (LCIL) warmly invite you to an online Rapid Response Seminar on the UK Internal Market Bill. The United Kingdom Internal Market Bill 2019-21 was introduced on 9 September 2020 and contained what observers have called constitutional dynamite and the newspapers described as ‘Britannia waives the rules.’ Ministers have alternatively called it ‘his does break international law in a specific and limited way’ or justified it as a reaction to a material breach by the EU to the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland/Ireland Protocol. A detailed provision authorising Ministers (possibly with consent of Parliament) to breach international law and preventing access to the courts is unprecedented. The three Research Centres of the Faculty of Law have joined forces to analyse three aspects of the UK Internal Market Bill in a rapid response seminar. Experts on EU law, international law and public law will jointly discuss different aspects of the introduction, passage and potential consequences of the Bill. While the content of the Bill and the rules governing the internal market are equally controversial, these will be discussed in detail in November during an academic CELS seminar. The rapid response given by members of the three research centres is designed to bring different legal perspectives together and provide expert opinions on this new legislation from diverse points of view. It will allow enough time for an online Q&A, so please submit your questions through the chat. Welcome – UK Internal Market Bill Rapid Response Seminar (5 min) Professor Mark Elliot (for the Faculty of Law) Professor Alison Young (for the Centre for Public Law) Professor Catherine Barnard (for CELS) Dr Lorand Bartels (for the LCIL) Panel 1 – The Withdrawal Agreement, the Northern Ireland Protocol and the Withdrawal Agreement Act (Special status of EU law, international law in UK domestic law, why are state aid and customs checks a problem for the UK internal market?) (25 min) Chair: Dr Gehring Dr Bartels– International law Professor Barnard – EU law Dr Steinfeld – Public law Panel 2 – The breach of an international treaty, the rule of law and sovereignty of Parliament (Is there a breach, does it matter, does the Ministerial Code prevent it, why are the devolved administrations concerned?)

The Lauterpacht Centre for International Law (LCIL) and the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) held an online Rapid Response Seminar on the War in Ukraine on 7 March 2022. On the 24 February 2022 Russian troops launched a fully-fledged invasion of Ukraine after force had been used between the two countries in February 2014 with the annexing of Crimea by Russia. The UN General Assembly in its emergency session decided on 2 March 2022 that it: ‘[d]eplores in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in violation of Article 2 (4) of the Charter; demands that the Russian Federation immediately cease its use of force against Ukraine and to refrain from any further unlawful threat or use of force against any Member State; also demands that the Russian Federation immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and [d]eplores the 21 February 2022 decision by the Russian Federation related to the status of certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine as a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the Charter.’ In this Webinar we aimed to analyse the international and EU law aspects of the war in Ukraine. Experts on international and EU law, discussed different aspects of the use of force by Russia, and the European Union’s reaction. It will brought different legal perspectives together and provided expert opinions on this new and troubling development in international law in Europe. Speakers: - Professor Marc Weller: Use of Force – UN Charter – Security Council, also Peace Treaty and International Humanitarian Law - Dr Dan Saxon: International Criminal Law – Crime of Aggression – International Criminal Court jurisdiction - Francisco-José Quintana: Human Rights in War - Professor Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger: Protection of Livelihoods and the Environment during War in Ukraine - Dr Emilija Leinarte: European Union Relations with Ukraine – EU-Ukraine Association Agreement - Dr Markus Gehring: EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, external dimension of migration and prospect for Ukraine’s EU membership For more information see: https://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/ and https://www.lcil.cam.ac.uk/
