About the Journal
Aim and Scope
The UCLAEH LAW JOURNAL, published by the Faculty of Law of the Latin American Center for Human Economy (CLAEH) since 1958 (CLAEH University since 2017), is a digital journal and is the first legal journal of the institution open to the entire academic community in Uruguay and abroad.
With open and universal access, its mission is to disseminate legal sciences from an interdisciplinary approach that allows for the integration of perspectives focusing on the promotion of human rights, fundamental freedoms, and both generic and specific guarantees within the framework of the Rule of Law and its governing principles stemming from dual legal protection.

At its core, the publication promotes the study and analysis of law as a discipline, emphasizing the recognition of rights and freedoms through an analysis grounded in the promotion of democratic, pluralistic, critical, and constructive living knowledge.
