REVEGGINO, Bruno Rodríguez. Dialogue as a weapon? The battle of regional tribunals against the fragmentation of international human rights law. Iuris Dictio [online]. 2017, n.20, pp.105-118. ISSN 2528-7834.  https://doi.org/10.18272/iu.v20i20.920.

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights and the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights maintain an ongoing “judicial dialogue”. This article argues that the dialogue contributes mainly to two substantive aspects. First, it is a key element to avoid an internal fragmentation of International Human Rights Law. Second, it contributes to the legitimacy of each of the regional systems since it provides scope and content to the obligations established in each of the constituent treaties. It is concluded that, insofar as the dialogue is broadened and its use is consolidated, it will contribute to give more coherence to regional human rights protection systems.

Palabras clave : Judicial Dialogue; Inter-American Court of Human Rights; European Court of Human Rights; International Criminal Court of Human Rights and Peoples; Fragmentation of International Law; Legitimacy of International Tribunals.
