CARDENAS POVEDA, Margarita  and  SUAREZ OSMA, Ingrid. Application of Remedy Criteria of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights Jurisprudence in Colombian Council of State Judgments. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.26, pp.33-48. ISSN 1692-2530.

This article covers the way the Colombian Council of State has applied remedy criteria developed by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. For this purpose, after presenting the Inter-American standards and the scope of each of them, it addresses the jurisprudence of the Council of State by means of which this entity has ordered the Colombian State to remedy damages caused by violation of human rights, with the purpose of verifying if remedy criteria of the Inter-American Court have been used. It is noted that the Council has made its best efforts to integrally indemnify the victims of human rights violation, resorting to the Inter-American jurisprudence (overcoming the times when only an economic indemnification was ordered) and starting a control of conventionality concerning remedy from this Colombian Court.

Keywords : Integral remedy; human rights; Inter-American Court; Colombian Council of State; conventionality control; restitutio in integrum; guarantees of non-repetition; satisfaction; rehabilitation; indemnification.
