Abstract

My intention in this overview is to describe generally the origins and impact of the Constitutional Court and its main decisions. I will also provide a general overview of its role within the Colombian system-a comprehensive assessment that has not been fully carried out to date and that obviously requires much more space and time than is available for this specific presentation.
