Abstract
This paper addresses the important role of the domestic justice in the protection
of the right to access to international justice, and in our case the
Inter-American justice. Within this purpose, the text explains the existence
of a right to an effective international remedy in the Inter-American Human
Rights System, and describes some of its peculiarities. Also, it shows the
importance of national justice in the effectiveness of the international remedy
and addresses certain issues with regard to the implementation of international
judgments in the domestic sphere, considering that international rulings are
binding and have the same nature of national judicial decisions. Finally, the
paper deals with some reflections on possible internal remedies to comply
with international rulings in Colombia.
