This book OD Armando Blanco Guzman, undertakes a comprehensive approach to the rule of law as articulated and progressively developed with the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. In this context, it begins by outlining the historical evolution of the concept of the rule of law, and its constitutive elements, and elucidating its overarching with contemporary constitutional and international legal orders. Subsequently, the analysis turns to the Court's doctrinal contribution, exploring how this international tribunal has interpreted, refined the meaning and scope of each of these essential components. Particular attention is devoted to the principle of legality; the normative and institutional guarantees of human rights; the democratic orders as a foundational pillar of the Inter-American system; the principles governing the separation and cooperation of powers; the doctrine of state responsibility for internationally wrongful acts and the mechanisms of control, limitation and justification of state action
