of leading constitutionalism,"51 made up of the Court and the national legal bodies, whose objective, ultimately, is the material realization of the guarantees and integration of the countries of the region around a structure of mutual support. The dissemination of human rights norms constitutes one of the mechanisms through which this objective can be achieved.52 71. I would emphasize that, from the perspective of developing constitutionalism globally, adding ESCER to constitutional texts is an authentic and unforgettable Latin American legacy, dating back to the Mexican Constitutional Charter of 1917. As the doctrine of the Ius Constitucionale Commune has highlighted, what we are seeing, especially after the broad movement to modify the constitutional systems of Latin American countries with the decline of authoritarian regimes toward the end of the 20th century and into the 21st century, is the adoption of constitutions that are even more focused on protecting human rights, with extensive provisions on ESCER.53 72. Attentive to the open network of interpreters of the Convention of which it is part, the Court is not oblivious to the developments taking place at constitutional levels regarding the justiciability of ESCER, illustrated as well by the many citations in the judgment in question of the precedents of the Constitutional Court of Colombia, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of Mexico, the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil, and the Constitutional Court of Ecuador.54 73. The reciprocal is also true, since the Constitutional Courts have implemented the precedents of this Court in their decisions on ESCER. For example, in the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court, within the framework of the recent proceeding of the Hearing on Failure to Comply with Fundamental Precept in matters of environmental rights (ADPF no. 708), one of the illustrious judges of the Brazilian Constitutional Court invoked, in open dialogue with the hermeneutics practiced in this Court, Advisory Opinion 23/2017 and the Case of Lhaka Honhat v. Argentina (2020) when issuing their opinion.55 74. In this context, I understand that given the close relationship with states’ constitutional courts, the Court’s exercise of its institutional function, including by interpreting and applying the Convention’s provisions on ESCER, must take into account any impacts on constitutional systems and the regional reality. 75. In my thinking, this means that the consistency and integrity of the Court's findings have a knock-on effect at the national level. This repeated finding by this Court—the final interpreter of the Convention—of the justiciability of ESCER has resulted in a generalized absorption of this understanding by the courts of the states Parties to the Convention, as one would expect would happen as a result of the dialogue between the different judicial bodies.
