Abstract

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights is a judicial body, It belongs to the Organization of American States, which has autonomy and the specific purpose of applying and interpreting the United States Convention on Human Rights or covenant in San José, Costa Rica. In its legislation, Colombia has accepted this convention through the Constitutionality Block, in order to reduce or mitigate the various human rights violations committed in the states associated with them. Therefore, what led to this investigation was possible irregularities that may occur in the exercise of the disciplinary function, in relation

to specific and specific cases of elected officials, Since there had been a number of disagreements on that point on the part of a number of public officials, it was due to the lack of procedural powers and guarantees during the course of the disciplinary process.

In summary, this study reviewed whether the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation, as a disciplinary administrative authority, applied the provisions of control of conventionality and constitutionality in its decisions against elected popular members; and in the same way if authorized to impose sanctions in this regard, in accordance with the provisions of articles 8, 23.1 and 23.2 of the Convention.
