1948.-
EL DIVORCIO EN EL SALVADOR
Upon
finishing his law studies, he presented his doctoral dissertation on the subject
of divorce. In his words: "I chose divorce as a subject of my dissertation
because this is one of the more national juridical institutions. This meant
that sometimes in foreign civil law books I could not find solutions to problems
I encountered."
..."The main characteristic in the Salvadoran divorce legislation, for
me, is its inconsistency. A series of fixes ended up with an unseemly whole
that, I think, should be amended."
The legislative history of Salvadoran divorce
and the law theory to back it are found in this book, which is full of critical
annotations suggesting improvements.
The first edition appeared in Imprenta Funes,
1948. This thesis received the Gold Medal prize.For the second edition, Editorial
Universitaria, San Salvador, El Salvador, in 1959, he was already living in
Santiago, Chile, and had no time to revise his book, he said "I agree
to the new edition only at the kind insistence that the students find this
work to be useful."
1971.- LA INTEGRACIÓN CENTROAMERICANA ANTE EL DERECHO INTERNACIONAL
| In
1951 was signed the AGREEMENT OF SAN SALVADOR which created the Organization
of Central American States (ODECA), by several regional governments, and
later ratified trough a series of bilateral agreements, with the intention
to work together and so have a greater international impact. The first step was the creation of a common market with the free exchange of goods and benefited especially those countries with a more developed industrial base. |

There
were a series of problems: some governments had negotiated badly, border controls
for the citizens, difference n educational levels and foremost fear, "fear
to do away with outdated bureaucratic structures that would fall by themselves
if we don't abolish them by law."
"No more studies of customs, papers, vouchers,
permits, front and
side photographs... There have been many and have costed plenty."
"What is urgent is to grant
man, the main subject of Law, what has
been granted to he commercial goods: freedom to travel across Central America
and to stay wherever is most convenient." It analyzes the Central American
situation and has critical suggestions for its improvement.
Regrettably,
the Central America integration process was cut short by the fratricidal war
between Honduras and El Salvador the same year that man reached the moon.
The author points out hat this book was written prior to said sad historical
development that set back the impulses for integration.
Its two volumes were published in 1971 by the Dirección de Cultura
del Ministerio de Educación.
