English to Spanish: Genocidio Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - English Genocide
The last war has focused our attention on the phenomenon of the destruction of whole populations -of national, racial and religious groups - both biologically and culturally. The German practices, especially in the course of occupation, are too well known. Their general plan was to win the peace though the war be lost, and that goal could have been achieved through successfully changing the political and demographic interrelationships in Europe in favor of Germany. The population not destroyed was to be integrated in the German cultural, political and economic pattern.
In this way a mass obliteration of nationhoods had been planned throughout occupied Europe. The Nazi leaders had stated very bluntly their intent to wipe out the Poles, the Russians; to destroy demographically and culturally the French element in Alsace-Lorraine, the Slavonians in Carniola and Carinthia. They almost achieved their goal in exterminating the Jews and Gypsies in Europe. Obviously, the German experience is the most striking and the most deliberate and thorough, but history has provided us with other examples of the destruction of entire nations, and ethnic and religious groups.

La última guerra ha centrado nuestra atención en el fenómeno de la destrucción biológica y cultural de poblaciones enteras (grupos nacionales, raciales y religiosos). Las prácticas alemanas, especialmente durante la ocupación, son bastante conocidas. Su plan general era ganar la paz aunque se perdiera la guerra y ese objetivo se podía haber alcanzado cambiando, de manera exitosa, las interrelaciones políticas y demográficas en Europa a favor de Alemania. La población que no se destruyera, sería integrada al patrón cultural, político y económico alemán.
De esta manera se había planeado la destrucción masiva de la identidad nacional a través de la Europa ocupada. Los líderes nazis habían expuesto abiertamente su intención de destruir a los polacos, a los rusos; de destruir demográfica y culturalmente al elemento francés en Alsacia y Lorena, a los eslavonios en Carniola y Carintia. Casi lograron su cometido de exterminar a los judíos y a los gitanos en Europa. Obviamente, la experiencia alemana es la más notable y la más deliberada y minuciosa, pero la historia nos ha proporcionado otros ejemplos de destrucción de naciones enteras y de grupos étnicos y religiosos.
English to Spanish: Case of Shishkov vs. Bulgaria
Source text - English B. The applicant’s detention pending trial
23. The applicant was arrested on 22 August 1997. On 23 August 1997 he was brought before an assistant investigator who charged him and decided that he should be remanded in custody. The detention order, which was made on the basis that the applicant was charged with a serious offence, stated that there existed a danger of the applicant’s absconding or committing offences, without providing reasons. It was either authorised in advance or approved on the same day by a prosecutor.
On 25 August 1997 the applicant appointed a lawyer to represent him.
1. The first appeal against detention
24. On 3 September 1997 the applicant’s lawyer prepared an appeal to the Plovdiv District Court against his client’s detention pending trial. The appeal was submitted through the District Prosecutor’s Office, as required by Article 152a § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
There is a dispute between the parties as to the date on which the appeal was actually submitted to the District Prosecutor’s Office. The applicant maintains that the appeal was handed over to the duty prosecutor on 3 September 1997 who, in accordance with the usual practice, transmitted it to the clerical staff without registering it himself. According to the Government, the date on which the appeal was registered, 8 September 1997, should be considered as the date of its submission, there being no proof that it had been submitted earlier.
Translation - Spanish B. La detención preventiva del demandante
23. El demandante fue arrestado el 22 de agosto de 1997. El 23 de agosto de 1997 fue conducido ante un investigador policial quien le formuló cargos y decidió que él debía ser detenido. La orden de detención, basada en que el demandante era acusado de un delito grave, declaró, sin expresar las razones, que existía el riesgo de que el demandante se fugara o cometiera delitos. Esto fue autorizado con anterioridad o aprobado el mismo día por un fiscal.
El 25 de agosto de 1997 el demandante nombró un abogado para que lo representara.
1. La primera apelación contra la detención
24. El 3 de septiembre de 1997 el abogado del demandante preparó una apelación para el Tribunal de Primera Instancia de Plovdiv contra la detención preventiva de su cliente. La apelación se presentó a través de la Fiscalía de Distrito, como lo exige el Artículo 152ª, párrafo 2 del Código de Procedimiento Penal.
Existe una disputa entre las partes en cuanto a la fecha en que realmente se presentó la apelación a la Fiscalía de Distrito. El demandante sostiene que la apelación le fue entregada al fiscal de turno el 3 de septiembre de 1997 quien, de acuerdo con la práctica usual, la transfirió al agente fiscal sin registrarla él mismo. Según el Gobierno, se deberá considerar la fecha del registro de la apelación, el 8 de septiembre de 1997, como la fecha de entrega, no habiendo prueba de que se hubiera presentado antes.
English to Spanish: Searching for philosophy in literature: educational complications General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Introduction
The usual connection between literature and philosophy in classroom consists in the tendency of (a more or less philosophical) exploitation of more or less philosophical elements in the literary texts and rarely or never the opposite. Literature seems to be a tank for the “pumping” of different elements that could be in different ways elaborated during the educational procedure conforming to the aims that this procedure adopts. On the other hand, this tendency reveals more the will or the need on behalf of the educational procedures to use different materials from different cognitive areas with the aim to serve general educational objectives, than to reveal the particular constitution of each area and material. The hasty passage from the particular role that each discipline can play in the construction of the meaning of the world and of its understanding to the general rules and terms defining this understanding hides a strong movement of moralization, the development of a rhetoric about thinking, feeling and reflection (usually in the frame of a restrained, closed rationalistic logic) which except confusion, can generate sperms of indoctrination .
Translation - Spanish Introducción
La conexión usual que se establece entre la literatura y la filosofía en el aula de clase consiste en la tendencia a una explotación (más o menos filosófica) de elementos más o menos filosóficos en los textos literarios y rara vez o nunca lo contrario. La literatura parece ser un depósito para el “bombeo” de diferentes elementos que podrían elaborarse de diferentes formas durante el procedimiento pedagógico según los objetivos que este procedimiento persiga. Por otra parte, esta tendencia revela, más que la constitución particular de cada área y material, la intención o la necesidad de utilizar diferentes materiales desde diferentes áreas cognitivas en nombre de los procedimientos pedagógicos con el fin de responder a objetivos educativos generales. El paso apresurado desde el papel particular que puede desempeñar cada disciplina en la construcción del significado del mundo y su comprensión hasta las normas y términos generales que definen esta comprensión esconde un movimiento marcado de moralización, el desarrollo de una retórica sobre el pensamiento (usualmente en el marco de una lógica racionalista cerrada restringida) la cual, salvo una confusión, puede generar semillas de adoctrinamiento .
