“The association of the Juan and Marcos companies, without a doubt, has brought them both an enormous benefit.”
Union of several people or things to achieve a common goal and the set of partners who pursue that goal
Also, at set of associates for the same purpose and therefore the legal person that results from them is known by the name of association.
How the association works and is managed
Generally, it is a non-profit association, stable over time and managed in a way democratic, that is, all decisions made within it are previously agreed upon between the members.
The fact of being endowed with legal personality, will imply that it is a different person from that of its partners and that then its heritage is your own and must always be used in order to achieve the proposed purposes and not for personal use of any of its associates.
This legal figure has the mission of preventing members from diverting their
conduct and then incur a crime with respect to the assets that correspond to the association in question.“Laura joined an association to combat animal abuse.”
Linked to the defense of minority rights
Generally, non-profit associations exclusively deal with the defense of those minorities or species that are considered most defenseless against the social collective.
For example, in the whole world and as a consequence of being a minority that usually receives attacks and discrimination is that homosexuals meet in associations in order to ensure and fight for their rights in any field.
Gays, lesbians, transvestites and transsexuals, among other sexual options, are associated in order to achieve a common goal, which in these cases is how we said to achieve no discrimination from society and also being able to have all the civil rights that heterosexual people have, for example marrying, having children, among other
In recent decades, associations of this type that exist in the world and that have been growing have not only in number but also in representation, they have made great strides in the recognition of rights and equality before the law with respect to heterosexuals.
Marriage has undoubtedly been one of the most important achievements that these associations have achieved after years and years of struggle.
In Argentina, for example, the equal marriage law was enacted a few years ago, which precisely allows two individuals of the same sex can marry with the same rights and obligations as a couple Heterosexual.
And in another order of things has been the possibility of being able to manage a national document of identity with the gender that is chosen, for example, transsexuals can change their name and sex in their original documents and choose who represents them.
It is from this example and from so many other similes in other contexts that the importance of have the associations of people who fight for a common goal when it comes to achieving precisely those objectives that are propose.
