Resumen
Descripción
This article analyzes the effects of the Petro Urrego vs. Colombia ruling on the Colombian legal system. It deals especially with the Andean country’s attempts to adapt the powers of the Attorney General’s Office to the orders given by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and contained in the aforementioned ruling and how its implementation has led to clashes between different authorities such as the Attorney General’s Office, the Council of State and the Constitutional Court. Using an analytical-descriptive methodology, it was possible to conclude that the Colombian State must adapt its regulations in accordance with conventional standards to guarantee greater protection of the political rights of elected public servants. © 2024, Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro.
