Abstract

Thanks to the special normative tools of the Interamerican System of Human Rights and the dynamic work of the Interamerican Court of Human Rights, as well as the recent constitutional reforms in the region, there is a new way to build the relationship between the International Human Rights Law and the national legal orders in Latino America. In this essay we will try to prove that, as consequence of these new relationship, the dialogue and harmonization between both legal orders is not just useful but, above all, mandatory.

Keywords: Human rights, International law, National law
