This panel proposes to explore the ways in which decisions of the Inter-American Court and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights engage in dialogue with, influence, and at times come into tension with the constitutional systems of States in the region. The objective is to analyze how constitutional courts and supreme courts, executive authorities, and also members of the legislative branch receive, interpret, and apply Inter-American jurisprudence on issues such as political rights, freedom of expression, access to justice, equality and non-discrimination, social and collective rights, the environment, and the climate emergency.

Likewise, the panel seeks to discuss the dynamics of resistance, appropriation, and harmonization that emerge from this judicial dialogue, and to reflect on its impact on the protection of human rights and the quality of democracy in Latin America. We invite proposals addressing concrete cases, comparative analyses, or theoretical frameworks on the interaction between constitutional law and Inter-American law.
