In the present text, the authors propose a novel methodology for the identification and analysis of the speeches made by plaintiffs and judges in cases of recognition of trans* identities. Both conclude that these actors converge in the process from rigid binary, pathologizing and genitalizing discourses, making very scarce references to the most recent contributions that Law and Social Sciences have made to the understanding of gender identity.

Modern Medicine understands the intersex body as a pathology that must be corrected. Each year, hundreds of intersex newborns and children are subjected to genital “normalizing surgeries”: unnecessary, non-consensual and irreversible medical procedures that seek to adapt them to the status quo of corporal virtue. In this text, the authors present the main domestic and international legal discourses built around this medical practice. They conclude that, compared to national systems, International Human Rights Law has been crystalizing a legal standard prohibiting these interventions, but that it is urgent to have a contentious case before an international tribunal that so orders.

Twenty-first century International Human Rights Law calls for States to provide trans people with access to legal mechanisms for obtaining recognition of their gender identity. What conditions should such procedures meet? Which requirements are forbidden nowadays? Do these standards apply to trans children and adolescents? Do they apply to trans foreigners? Do nonbinary identities have a place in these discussions? Bringing together legal perspectives and first-person accounts, this paper offers an exhaustive systematization of the strides forward made in the Universal, inter-American and European systems for the recognition of diverse and dissident gender identities. It also provides concrete examples of the application of these standards in countries that still lack a gender identity law, such as Peru.

In the last few years, an ever growing number of States have recognized same-sex marriage. For that reason, it is important to ask what would happen if two same-sex individuals that have legally contracted marriage in another countrywould sue for its recognition in Peru. The authors of this article study the courses ofaction available to legal operators facing this situation, in the context of the public policy exception and International Human Rights Law.For that purpose, they analize European and Inter-American case-law on the matter and offer a way forward on how to solve conflicts between foreign law, domestic law, and human rights.

El Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos del siglo XXI exige que los Estados brinden a las personas trans acceso a mecanismos jurídicos para el reconocimiento de su identidad de género. ¿Qué condiciones deben cumplir estos procedimientos identitarios? ¿Qué requerimientos se encuentran hoy prohibidos? ¿Estos estándares se aplican a la niñez y adolescencia trans? ¿A las personas trans extranjeras? ¿Tienen lugar las identidades no binarias en estas discusiones? Desde una perspectiva que combina lo jurídico con lo testimonial, este trabajo presenta una exhaustiva sistematización de los avances logrados en los sistemas universal, interamericano y europeo para el reconocimiento de las identidades de género diversas y disidentes. El texto se enfoca además en brindar ejemplos concretos de aplicación de estos estándares en países que, como el Perú, carecen todavía de u...

En el presente artículo los profesores Zelada y Bertoni realizan un minucioso e interesante estudio del artículo 11 de la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos a través de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.

Usando un método experimental que consiste en enviar CV ficticios pero creíbles para candidatos de origen blanco y afroperuanos en Lima Metropolitana, encontramos evidencia de una menor preferencia para contactar y contratar a profesionales afrodescendientes, a pesar de ostentar un nivel de capital humano similar al de sus contrapartes de origen blanco. En estos empleos, los afroperuanos reciben 38% menos llamadas que los peruanos de origen blanco, a pesar de poseer ambos similares niveles de capital humano. Esta conducta discriminatoria, sin embargo, no resulta estadísticamente significativa en el caso de las ocupaciones técnicas ni de aquellas que requieren baja calificación. Observamos, además, que la apariencia física tiene un efecto significativo en las tasas de respuesta de las tres categorías ocupacionales: los candidatos no agraciados son preferidos en los empleos profesi...

Este trabajo busca remontar las dificultades estadísticas usuales, a través de un diseño experimental que documente una situación sistemática de menor oportunidad de acceso al mercado laboral por parte de los afroperuanos. Aspiramos a que nuestra evidencia aportada sirva para informar mejor un debate de políticas públicas en un contexto de creciente consenso sobre la necesidad de igualar las oportunidades de progreso y movilidad económica y social para todos los peruanos. Este trabajo puede ser, además, de gran utilidad para los operadores jurídicos, en especial para los jueces y encargados de administrar justicia, como un incentivo para el uso de herramientas no jurídicas en la medición y prueba de formas aparentemente invisibles de discriminación.
