Abstract

International human rights systems of protection are constantly improving. Among these efforts is the control of conventionality, widely used in the Inter-American Human Rights System, and whose purpose is to harmonize the domestic laws of the different countries that recognize the contentious jurisdiction of the Inter-American Human Rights Court with the American Convention on Human Rights or the Court's interpretation made of it. In this context, the objective of the present study was to analyze the experiences of Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru, highlighting the peculiarities with which each one has been adopting this control. For that, research was done on comparative and Inter-American doctrine, legislation and jurisprudence. It was concluded that, in spite of the specificities with which each one of the countries has been implementing the control of convention, there is full recognition of its importance for the protection of human rights
