Chile, 17 Manuela et al. v. El Salvador, 18 Former Employees of the Judiciary v. Guatemala, 19 Palacio Urrutia v. Ecuador 20 and Pavez Pavez v. Chile, 21 in relation to the justiciability of the economic, social, cultural and environmental rights (hereinafter ESCER) under Article 26 of the American Convention on Human Rights. 3. Since 2017 and without interruption, I have emphasized the logical and legal inconsistencies of the direct and autonomous justiciability of the ESCER under Article 26 of the Convention. The position assumed by the majority of the Court disregards the rules of interpretation of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 22 alters the nature of the obligation of progressivity textually established in Article 26, 23 ignores the intention of the States reflected in the Protocol of San Salvador 24 and undermines the legitimacy of the Court by unjustifiably expanding its competence; 25 to mention only some arguments. 4. On this occasion, I am not going to examine further, either this point or the difficulties in relation to the case law concerning the right to health; in this regard, I refer back to my previous opinions. 26 In the instant case, I wish to point out how the majority position of the Court in relation to the right to health derived from Article Case of Gonzales Lluy et al. v.
