acts, but also due respect to both the majority and the minority within it when deciding
the corresponding case. Concurring and dissenting opinions are part of the essence of a
collegiate court, where the opinions of all its members contribute to enhancing the
decisions and the search for justice, in this case, in the domain of human rights.
This opinion is emitted considering, also, one of the characteristic imperatives of a
tribunal such as the Court, which is that of adapting its conduct to the provisions of law,
without, as an autonomous and independent entity, a superior authority that controls it.
This means that it is the Court itself that, in deference to the vital function assigned to
it, strictly respects the limits of this function and remains and evolves in the sphere
inherent to a jurisdictional entity. Without doubt, this contributes to strengthening the
institutional framework of inter-American human rights, a sine qua non requirement for
their proper safeguard.
