Abstract

In this edition of BIOLEX, now with an annual periodicity and continuous format, we welcome three new groups of authors who present the following topics: "Social justice as a gateway to common well-being" by Ana Ruth Citlaly Batris. In this work, she posits social justice as a fundamental value to achieve peaceful coexistence and the progress of societies in common. On the other hand, Iván de Jesús Ochoa Barreras presents, through a comparative study, the differences and harmonization of the Procedure in the Integral System of Juvenile Justice with the Accusatory and Oral Penal System in Mexico. He documents the justification for these differences to provide a better understanding of juvenile criminal justice and, in turn, identify areas of opportunity in both systems. Among the conclusions, it is highlighted that the Juvenile System strictly observes the procedural principle of Minimum Intervention and is more in harmony with the International Treaties on which it is based. The third contribution, "Motherhood and Fatherhood in the social security systems in Mexico," comes from Verónica Lidia Martínez Martínez. She analyzes the various benefit schemes of maternity insurance and paternity leave in the Mexican legal system. Through analytical and comparative methods, she identifies their main omissions, deficiencies, and violations.
