Interpretation of Regional Human Rights Conventions and Originalism

Reporte elaborado por Oswaldo Ruiz-Chiriboga.

En la Revista DPCE Online (Vol. 31, No. 3, 2017) se publicó un artículo de Gonzalo Candia titulado "Interpretation of Regional Human Rights Conventions and Originalism: Different Context, Same Myths". Este es el resumen del artículo:

"Both the European and the Inter-American courts of human rights have mostly refused to give an originalist reading to regional human rights conventions. This position is based on a series of misrepresentations concerning the demands of both the interpretative rules of the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties and originalism. In this context, the author concludes that a new debate between true originalism and living interpretation must take place within the boundaries of international human rights law".
