The protection of modern rights in the Political Constitution of Peru of 1993 based on international treaties

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected global context, the subscription to international treaties becomes essential for states to ensure the fulfillment of constantly evolving rights. The inclusion of these agreements in the Peruvian Constitution configures it as a versatile device, standing out not only for its recognition of fundamental rights, but also for its active commitment to development at the international level. From the promulgation of the 1979 Constitution to the current Constitution, despite the elimination of provisions concerning the regulation of international treaties from the 1979 Constitution, the transcendence of the new articles incorporated in this area in the 1993 Constitution persists, demonstrating its influence both in the regulation of international treaties and in the adaptation of enshrined rights. In this context, it is argued that the international treaties signed by Peru have an impact on national regulations by recognizing new rights, thus underlining the relevance of these agreements in the Peruvian scenario.
