“El <<control de convencionalidad>> y su impacto en el diálogo entre los tribunales nacionales y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos”

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has established in approximately 30 cases that judicial and administrative national bodies must exercise a ‘conventionality control’ between the domestic legal provisions and the American Convention on Human Rights taking into account the interpretations of the judicial body of this treaty. The Inter-American Court has rethought the meaning of the ‘conventionality control’ expanding its scope of application while being cautious of the impact in each case. In response, national tribunals have applied in their case-law the legal standards rendered by the Inter-American system. The present article studies how the ‘conventionality control’ has permitted the interaction between international law and domestic law. We can argue that there is a jurisprudential dialogue between domestic law and international tribunals that has several symbolic possibilities and practical constraints.
