Judicial Activism in a Violent Context: The Origin, Role, and Impact of the Colombian Constitutional Court

Author: Manuel José Cepeda-Espinosa (Constitutional Court of Colombia)

Abstract

My intention in this overview is to describe generally the origins and impact of the Constitutional Court and its main decisions. I will also provide a general overview of its role within the Colombian system-a comprehensive assessment that has not been fully carried out to date and that obviously requires much more space and time than is available for this specific presentation.

Keywords: Constitutional law, Judicial activism, Judicial review, Colombia
