LA FUERZA VINCULANTE DE LAS SENTENCIAS CONSTITUCIONALES Y EL RECONOCIMIENTO DE DERECHOS FUNDAMENTALES.: A PROPóSITO DE LA LEY SOBRE REGULACIóN DE LA FERTILIDAD

the authors discuss the impact of the constitutional court decisions, in its role as the supreme interpreter of the constitution, on the other branches of government, particularly the government itself and the congress, especially when its sentences are about the meaning and scope of fundamental rights, such as the right to life of the unborn. besides, they sustain that the precedents that this kind of sentences stand, can't be ignored neither by the constitutional court itself nor by the government entities in their future decisions, insofar the fundamental rights are an unbridgeable barrier for the colegislative branches.
