THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND REGIONAL CONSENSUS
A SYSTEMIC APPROACH
Resumen
This article examines the Inter-American System of Human Rights (especially the Inter-American Court of Human Rights – IACHR) and the Latin-American national legal systems as open legal sets that can interact by using the regional consensus. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, however, tends to rely uniquely on the conventionality control on this inter-relationship, imposing itself as the “final interpreter” of the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR). This essay argues that this interpretation considers the Latin-American national legal systems as subsystems of a unique one, whereas use of consensus implies that every national legal set is an autonomous system, and this method can function as a meta-system between the two sets (international and national), with the potential to enhance the legitimacy of the IACHR
