During the Colloquium N\u00b0298, Luis Andr\u00e9s Fajardo, Deputy Ombudsman of Colombia, gave a talk entitled “Constitutionality Block as a tool for integration and progressiveness of the constitutional law of human rights (in Colombia)”. The speaker explained how the Constitutional Block is a fundamental concept that expands the notion of constitution beyond a simple legal document. In contrast to the French model, in Colombia it is distinguished by its broad and flexible approach rather than solid and rigid. This bloc automatically incorporates all regulations that protect human rights, including those coming from international laws, such as those established in the Inter-American sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to note that the Constitution itself may change as the Constitutionality Block evolves, as occurred with the ratification of the Convention of Belem do Para. In addition, ordinary judges use the Inter-American system to support their decisions, which enriches the work of the constitutional courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This approach transcends the traditional view that state law is static and closed, recognizing the co-evolution of human rights and their application in judicial practice. In short, the Constitutionality Block represents a more dynamic and broader conception of normativity, in which fundamental rights are at the center and are nourished by both national and international norms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
