Abstract
This paper analyzes the legal debates around the judicial enforcement in Colombia of the right to appeal the first judgment of conviction, which is recognized as a minimum guarantee in the American Convention on Human Rights, but that was only codified in the Colombian Constitution under an amendment issued on January 2018. Mainly, this paper studies the granting of this right imposed by local case law interpretation as of April 25, 2016, and the fight to make it mandatory before this date by the control of conformity with the Convention.
