conventionality entails the obligation of national judges to consider in their decisions180 both the instruments of the inter-American system and the case law of the Court, an obligation that extends to other domestic authorities.181 In this specific case, this entails the Inter-American Court’s duty to contemplate the implications of its judgment for the establishment of its standards in order to ensure the soundness of its precedents. In Hendrix v. Guatemala, the discrepancy that I respectfully perceived in relation to the path followed by the Court on the issue of equality and non-discrimination has led me to record this discrepancy.
