MORENO ORTIZ, Luís Javier. Tutela Action against sentences: Origin and jurisprudential categories in Colombia (1992-2006). Civilizar [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.16, pp.57-72. ISSN 1657-8953.

The tutela action against judicial decisions is the most conflictive issue in the confrontation among the diverse jurisdictions that integrate the administration of justice in Colombia. This phenomenon has been qualified by the mass media as "collision of trains". The traditional functional separation between jurisdictions, which is founded in the autonomy of the different juridical disciplines, has been questioned by the integration constitutional vision, by virtue of which all judges, despite the jurisdiction to which they belong to, must apply the Constitution, especially for the protection of the fundamental rights, which is achieved by means of the tutela action. Therefore, the convergence of all jurisdictions in the constitutional jurisdiction is set out.

Palabras clave : Constitutional Law; Administration of Justice; Constitutional Jurisdiction; Constitution Supremacy; Tutela action against sentences.
