Resumen
HUERTAS DIAZ, Omar y ACERES TOVAR, Víctor Manuel. Taking power by force in Latin America: an emerging threat to the democratic principle. Justicia Juris [online]. 2014, vol.10, n.2, pp.32-42. ISSN 1692-8571. https://doi.org/10.15665/rj.v10i2.325.
This article is part of an academic reflection in the field of Legal Studies. This is the product of the results of research on the interrelationship between the concepts of Criminal Law, Constitution and Fundamental Rights. The authors have been developing from an analytical and critical perspective Research Group in the School of Criminal Law "Crimen Sine Lege Nullum" National University of Colombia. This article is about the conflicts occurred in this century in Honduras, Paraguay and Colombia. This has ultimately led to ouster of presidents Manuel Zelaya, Fernando Lugo and the Mayor of Bogota Gustavo Petro. All the above, they took power presumably under constitutional law. Moreover, dismissals in the background were generated by the configuration of innovative and increasingly undemocratic groups of governments in the hemisphere. This is characterized not by the use of armed actions, but by making and / or perpetuation of power by manipulating institutions enshrined in the superior Charter.
