Abstract

MARTINEZ, Natalia Barona. Application of the Drittwirkung der Grundrechte theory in International Human Rights Law and the Ecuadorean legal system. Iuris Dictio [online]. 2022, n.29, pp.45-60. ISSN 2528-7834.  https://doi.org/10.18272/iu.v29i29.2281.

Historically, it has been known that human rights, considered under their local and international protection systems, can be enforced vertically against the State. Nevertheless, in the last years, the third-party effect, which states that rights can be enforced between individuals, has taken great importance among jurists and jurisprudence. This article will analyze the development and implications of the third-party effect from international law and Ecuadorian constitutional law, looking them as complements for the protection of human rights.

Keywords : Drittwirkung; Third-party effect; Private Parties; Constitutional Law; Human rights.
