FLOREZ CALDERON, Mauro  y  RAMOS RODRIGUEZ, Zoila. The new right for all Colombians to retain their telephone numbers: (a right which remains unknown if it is not demanded). Ing. Investig. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.2, pp.83-86. ISSN 0120-5609.

Recognising rights and their evolution in terms of their varied classification and interpretation has followed a long and tortuous path throughout the ages. Body and soul originally belonged to the state; the middle ages saw mooring to the land for ever. The Petition of Right in 1628 (determining that no man could be arrested or detained without judicial formality), the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 (the corner-stone of English public freedom) and the French Constituent Assembly’s rights of man and citizens rights in 1789 represent the most important milestones on the way. Contemporary rights would include the right to information, monetary stability and a user’s right to retain his/her telephone number (1995). The present article’s object is to broadcast this new users’ right, establish the state of the art, alert people to possible difficulties and propose some strategies for implementing such rights.
