Abstract

RAMIREZ TORRADO, María Lourdes  and  ILLERA SANTOS, María de Jesús. ACCESS TO JUSTICE: A BROAD-SPECTRUM LEGAL INSTITUTION. Prolegómenos [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.42, pp.91-109. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.3198.

This article intends to analyze access to justice as an institution that enjoys many and diverse readings that make its definition complex in terms of its actual scope, guarantees and limitations. This is because it is an institution that shows compliance with the people's rights and materialization of the principles and values on which the Colombian state has been based. Therefore, the Constitutional Court's rulings were used to clarify the guidelines followed in the preparation of the paper.

Keywords : Access to justice; alternative mechanisms for conflict resolution; due process; fundamental right; justice; principle.
