Abstract

LOPEZ-MARTINEZ, Miguel Andrés. General Review of the Scope of the State's Financial Liability in Forced Displacement Public Policy. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.1, pp.451-487. ISSN 0124-0579.

New interpretations are required to find appropriate solutions to the issue of forced displacement. From a juridical perspective, it may be analyzed based on a general assessment of the State's responsibility for failing to provide the services required in terms of policy design and performance, defining failure as the event in which damages are assessed on the possible non-fulfillment of legal duties. However, a review of the policy processes before and after an unconstitutional state of affairs was declared demonstrates the shortcomings of the financial liability institution, which implies that new conceptual means must be found in order to make effective this mechanism for enforcing rights.

Keywords : Forced displacement; state's financial liability; administrative inactivity; service failure; unconstitutional state of affairs.
