The book delves into constitutional essays focused on Latin America, with a particular emphasis on Peru. It explores legal theories surrounding the development of human rights, rooted in constitutional pluralism. Drawing from the insights gathered by organizations within the Inter-American Human Rights System, notably the Court and the Commission, this examination extends to its impact on local judicial bodies, including the Judiciary and notably the Constitutional Court. These efforts aim to protect traditional civil and political rights alongside social rights. However, the work also addresses the ongoing challenge of safeguarding emerging rights, such as fundamental digital and environmental rights, while bolstering protections for vulnerable populations like migrants and the LGBTQ+ community. By adopting a holistic approach, the book aspires to serve as a valuable resource for academics, experts, students, and professionals engaged in the study and practice of Latin American Constitutionalism.
