    Analysis of the international debate on the right to peace in the context of the human rights and intergovernmental bodies of the United Nations “Analysis of the international debate on the right to peace in the context of the human rights and intergovernmental bodies of the United Nations” Mr. David Fernández Puyana Doctoral thesis UPF/2014 Tutor: Dr. Santiago Ripol Carulla (Professor of international law at the University of Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) 1 Analysis of the international debate on the right to peace in the context of the human rights and intergovernmental bodies of the United Nations Acknowledgments The enforcement and promotion of world peace requires the collective effort of many people, and the same is true for this doctoral thesis. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all the people and NGOs who have wholeheartedly supported the process in favour of the recognition of peace as a human right of all individuals and all peoples. I am most indebted to Ambassador Christian Guillermet-Fernández, Chairperson- Rapporteur of the Intergovernmental Open Ended Working Group on the right to peace at the Human Rights Council, who trusted me to assist him on the legal field during my tenure as a member of the dynamic team of the Permanent Mission of Costa Rica to the United Nations in Geneva. I benefited greatly from the edition process carried out by Donna Perry, the University of Massachusetts, Worcester (USA). Especially valuable was the support and friendship of Jussi Ojala, Elina Korhonen and Aaro Rytkönen (Finnish Church Aid), Christina Papazoglou (World Council of Churches) and Jaime Aranzadi, Miguel Bose and Juanes (Foundation Peace without Borders).

PATRICK GLENN* Globalization, it has recently been said, means the end not of history, but of geography, in the sense of the importance of geophysical boundaries.1 Like most statements on globalization, this one is also an exaggeration. Yet many close and familiar boundaries have recently declined in importance, whether they are geophysical, political, or legal.2 Regionalization is an important part of this process, since we define the new regions not so much in terms of geophysical boundaries, though in a large sense they are still present, but in terms of new political and legal boundaries that surpass those of the state. The European Union and the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") 3 are only two examples of contemporary regionalization, yet they illustrate the diversity of structures it may represent.

Williams1 “[D]issatisfaction is not inevitable.”2 Our courts have a very tough job. Scholars and citizens may disagree over whether our courts and legal processes are, at best, inefficient or, at worst, broken; but it is safe to say that there is a large degree of dissatisfaction. Still, judicial systems at the tribal, state, and federal levels accomplish a tremendous feat every day, serving society by hearing and adjudicating claims by parties great and small. While efficiency may not be a hallmark of the American judicial system, the existing infrastructure has proved remarkable in its ability to let each case be heard. Hard-working judges, attorneys, clerks, and staff endlessly turn the cogs and wheels of our adjudicative machinery in the pursuit of justice.

AMERICAN INDIAN LAW: A DISCOURSE ON CHTHONIC LAW GREGORY GAGNON* ABSTRACT This discourse on Chthonic Law, a theory propounded by H. Patrick Glenn among others, is the occasion for describing advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of customary American Indian law (Chthonic law) into the courtroom. Remarks on the theory, considerations of its merits and weaknesses and illustrations from American Indian societies lead to the conclusion that Chthonic law should become part of the admissible evidence in American courts. A major criticism of Chthonic Law theory is that it tends to describe a fictionalized version of society. Examples of American Indian violence, use of punishment, and private property law counter the idyllic construction of Chthonic law. Examples of the actual operation of a different legal system do exist, particularly the use of compensation and the justice goal of restoration after offenses.
