“…Many scholars and practitioners have favoured granting state parties more deference in the implementation of human rights judgements. 31 This would include more restrictive interpretation methods while strengthening the principle of subsidiarity and judicial dialogue, and developing better monitoring procedures. Moreover, several reform processes took place to accommodate the critics such as the Interlaken Process at the European Court of Human Rights, 32 the Strengthening Process of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, 33 or the 2018 decision of the African Union's Executive Council to review the mandate and working methods of the African Commission.…”

In the course of the so-called backlash against human rights courts, the regional human rights regimes in Europe, the Americas, and Africa are hardpressed to respond to states which attempt to undermine or abolish them. This raises the question of whether they should impose membership sanctions, i. e. sanctions that regulate the participation of state parties in international institutions. All three regimes contain the legal possibility for membership sanctions such as expulsion or suspension, however, concerned for their effect upon the population and civil society, they have been reluctant to apply

“…Dulitzky (2015aDulitzky ( , 2015b) y Contesse (2018Contesse ( , 2017 basan sus críticas en tres fundamentos: a) su base débil o inexistente en el derecho internacional y los documentos interamericanos; b) su pretensión intrusiva de definir las atribuciones de los jueces nacionales; y c) su incapacidad de generar un «diálogo» con los Estados, afirmando un problemático enfoque de tipo jerárquico de arriba hacia abajo, punto que también señala Torelly (2019, p. 136). Contesse (2018) sostiene que todos estos aspectos podrían eventualmente deslegitimar a la Corte IDH frente a los Gobiernos, tribunales y el público (p. 1169).

Holding the line on human rights accountability: Explaining the unlikely judicial overturn of the pardon and immunity granted to human rights violator Alberto Fujimori

Alberto Fujimori, Peruvian ex-president and perpetrator of human rights violations, was released from prison due to a presidential pardon in 2017. He was also granted immunity from prosecution. Although the political branches and the majority of the population supported these measures, as shown by public opinion polls, within months domestic courts overturned them completely, relying on standards set by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. This is the most unlikely result, comparatively. The article examines what could explain this pro human rights accountability behaviour in the judiciary. It argues that the outcome could be the product of two processes initialised during the Peruvian transition: Judicial empowerment (independence and power gains) and legal culture shift from positivism to neo-constitutionalism. Both are defined and analysed with reference to transitional justice and socio-legal studies scholarship. The article further seeks to identify the conditions under which Inter-American conventionality control doctrine could have a strong domestic impact.

“…Esto obedece a que el tribunal regional obliga a los Estados a que sus cortes locales, desde el inicio de cualquier proceso, se encuentren vinculadas a los criterios desarrollados en el Sistema Interamericano. También se relaciona con que la Corte Interamericana suele apreciarse a sí misma como una suerte de Tribunal Constitucional Interamericano, con todos los efectos y consecuencias que esto puede conllevar (Contesse, 2018(Contesse, : 1191. 16 De esta forma, el control de convencionalidad podría conducir a lo que se denominó «la simple recepción de los pronunciamientos internacionales».…”

Control de constitucionalidad y de convencionalidad: dilemas a propósito del denominado “diálogo” entre las cortes de justicia

El control de convencionalidad ha planteado importantes interrogantes en los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales. En esta investigación, se examinan dos escenarios en los que pueden presentarse ciertas resistencias a su implementación. El primero se relaciona con los modelos que la doctrina ha denominado como weak form constitutionalism, que optan por no brindar la última palabra con respecto a la interpretación de los derechos a los tribunales de justicia. Por otro lado, también se cuestiona el hecho de que este control impide la articulación de un diálogo entre tribunales, ya que no permite que los jueces nacionales expongan su lectura de los derechos fundamentales.
