René Urueña

René Urueña is a Research Fellow at Max Planck Law and holds an affiliation with Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. His scholarly work bridges international law, human rights, and technology governance, with a geographical focus on Latin America.

Research Interests:

• International investment arbitration and its intersection with human rights frameworks
• Transformative constitutionalism in Latin American legal systems
• Algorithmic governance and automated decision-making in social welfare systems
• Transitional justice mechanisms in post-conflict economies
• Evangelicalism's impact on human rights advocacy

Urueña's publications demonstrate a consistent focus on power asymmetries in international legal structures. His recent work examines algorithmic welfare states and religion's political influence, while earlier research analyzes constitutional review standards for investment treaties and transitional justice economics.
