Referendum after denouncing a human rights treaty?
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ecuador has made public announcements in regard to its will of reforming the Inter-American Human Rights System. The recent declarations by the Ecuadorian State are fundamentally based on opposition to the Inter-American Human Rights Commission's (IAHRC) faculty to execute judicial precautionary measures. If this is not viable, this State has contemplated the idea of denouncing the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR). An analysis will be developed in relation to the essentials of the precautionary measures and the pertinence of a referendum in the event that the Ecuadorian State decides to denounce the ACHR, basing on the Constitutional Block theory. Finally, the constitutionality of these acts will be analyzed jointly and independently.
