His talked was focused on the jurisprudence that has been developed in civil jurisdiction mainly in Germany, based on the creation of jurisprudence with a horizontal approach to fundamental rights typical of the German Doctrine.

Last October 27, our Professor of the Master in International Law for more than 15 years, Hugo Seleme, gave a lecture about "Positional Benefits as a threat to the Independence of Judicial systems” in the framework of the high-level conferences
In this third session, Hugo Seleme addressed the challenges that judicial systems have to face, referring to a fearful or a corrupt judiciary sustem. In the framework of his argumentative development, he discussed the two most used mechanisms to deal with these problems: first, with the granting of high positional benefits (such as salary); and second, with the selection process of judges and judicial officials.
With a clean and clear development, he was able to indicate the main challenges that these issues entail for the independence of the Judiciary in a current context of rule of law. The webinar was followed by more than fifty listeners, who also asked questions related to specific corruption situations in some countries of Latin America.
