Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Abstract
The article critically examines the role of judicial review in Colombia, particularly the Constitutional Court's expanding power, and argues for a more restrained approach to prevent judicial supremacy. It emphasizes the importance of pluralism and democratic decision-making, suggesting that controversial issues should be resolved through elected institutions rather than the judiciary. The analysis advocates for institutional reforms to strengthen Congress and ensure accountability, promoting a balance between judicial oversight and democratic processes.
