Descripción: The chapters in this book consist of two speeches that we prepared for the prize’s announcement event and the award ceremony, which took place virtually due to the pandemic. The purpose of this book is mainly to provide witness to our speeches and to preserve their original content. In the first presentation, which we prepared for a general audience consisting of all Tang Prize laureates from the four different categories, we explore Dejusticia’s relationship with the rule of law. We briefly discuss the differences between Dejusticia and other civil society organizations, as well as the action-research methodology that characterizes our work and allows us to connect with the reality around us. We then turn to the role of the rule of law in contemporary society, where urgent social change is needed, and conclude with a discussion of the challenges that organizations such as Dejusticia have dealt with in the past and must tackle in the future. The second presentation explores the potential and limits of one of Dejusticia’s main tools: strategic litigation, conducted in alliance with other civil society organizations, as an instrument for social and environmental justice. It offers examples of legal victories achieved by Dejusticia and our allies and offers some lessons learned during our fifteen-plus years using the law to change lives.
