Abstract

This paper will explore the possibility that the bolivian Plurinational Constitutional Court has to apply as a criterion of interpretation the case law of the Inter-american Court of Human Rights, preferentially to the bolivian Constituent’ control as another criterion of interpretation expressly provided. To that effect, the role of constitutional interpretation is taken into account as well as its relationship with international human rights standards, the analysis of the legal position of the case law of the Inter-american Court of Human Rights in the bolivian legal system, the effect of the Court’s case law on the protection of human rights, and the analysis of this case law in relation to the control of the Constituent as criteria for interpretation.
