Abstract

FAJARDO ARTURO, Luis Andrés. INTERNATIONAL LAW OF HUMAN RIGHTS AS THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE COLOMBIAN LAW. Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2013, vol.43, n.118, pp.239-272. ISSN 0120-3886.

Abstract: From the "crisis of sources" Colombian law, the result of the evolution of national legal culture to the neo-positivism, constitutional law has become the foundational basis and essence irrigating the entire order on this appears to have a tacit agreement among the actors of the Law. However, the main change has happened just right in constitutional law, and specifically through the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court which has become the classic sources of interpretation in real legal standards. Thus, constitutional principles and constitutional jurisprudence became legal source, but what is even more interesting is that under Article 93 (and going beyond its borders) opened the door for international human rights law, became the main source mediate substantive constitutional law in the country. Thus, the current Colombian law, sits on international law of human rights, with all the consequences that implies.

Keywords : sources of Law; human rights; constitutional bloc.
