    Broadening Conceptualizations of Transitional Justice through Using Technology: ICTs in the Context of <i>Justicia y Paz</i> in Colombia
    (Oxford University Press, 2018) Jean-Marie Chenou; Lina P Chaparro-Martínez; Ana María Mora Rubio
    Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have the potential to transform transitional justice in the digital era. However, it is difficult to evaluate whether ICTs generally democratize access and participation in transitional justice processes, or whether they reinforce preexisting power asymmetries because of inequalities in terms of access and technological skills. Instead of endorsing a techno-optimistic or a techno-pessimistic vision, this Note from the Field focuses on how the everyday use of technology by civil society actors contributes to shaping the potential impact of ICTs. Drawing upon science and technology studies, it argues that the conceptualization of transitional justice is co-constructed during the adoption and use of different technological tools. The Note describes two different uses of ICTs in the context of the Justicia y Paz law in Colombia from 2005. While ministries and state institutions created an integrated information system to improve procedural efficiency, civil society organizations created open information systems to circulate data and to contribute to historical memory and truth. These two examples illustrate how the use of ICT is shaping new conceptualizations of transitional justice among actors and in society in general.

    Habeas Data, Habemus Algorithms
    (University of Brasília, 2021) Jean-Marie Chenou; Laura Estefanía Rodríguez Valenzuela
    [Purpose] Automated decision-making and algorithmic governance are increasingly implemented in Latin America in order to improve efficiency in public institutions. However, regulatory frameworks are limited, and the uncritical adoption of technological solutions might undermine fundamental rights, especially of marginalized and vulnerable groups. [Methodology] The article explores two cases of automated decision-making in the Colombian public sector from a social justice perspective. It also outlines current debates on the regulation of artificial intelligence and algorithmic governance at the global level. [Findings] The article shows that the techno-optimistic discourse on the improvement of decision-making through the adoption of algorithms and artificial intelligence ignores the implications in terms of fundamental rights. This leads to the adoption of technologies without the necessary transparency and policy debates. [Practical Implications] The outline of current debates in other regions could inform policy debates in Colombia and Latin America. They provide some guidelines on how to prevent some of the most serious pitfalls of automated decision-making in the public sector. [Originality] While most of the debates on automated decision-making focus on the Global North, this article explores two cases from Colombia and discusses the necessary policy debates on algorithmic governance in Latin America.

    Uso legítimo y prácticas de acceso al conocimiento científico en Colombia
    (2021) Rodulfo Armando Castiblanco Carrasco; Jean-Marie Chenou; Lorenzo Maggiorelli
    La presente reflexión plantea que el acceso al conocimiento científico es una necesidad para el desarrollo económico y social. Sin embargo, está limitado por la comercialización de la producción científica y la aplicación estricta del derecho de autor. En el contexto colombiano, la ausencia de nociones jurídicas equivalentes al “uso legítimo” o “trato justo” crean una brecha entre el nivel normativo y las prácticas de compartir de los usuarios, y particularmente de los estudiantes. El artículo analiza cómo el caso de Diego Gómez, un estudiante demandado por haber compartido una tesis demaestría, ilustra la tensión entre derecho de autor y necesidades sociales de acceso al conocimiento. Basado en un análisis de la evolución del casojurídico, de la campaña #CompartirNoEsDelito, y en entrevistas con los principales actores, explora la posibilidad de enmarcar las prácticas en unavisión inspirada por el uso legítimo. Se concluye que es necesario hacer adaptaciones legales que promuevan el acceso libre al conocimiento científico por parte de la academia.
