Abstract
The integration principle, enshrined in article 2 of the Colombian criminal code, along with the interpretation of what is known as the criminal constitutional block, opened the door for human rights norms that had been and is still produced in different international systems. However, the incorporation and domestic implementation of those provisions has led, at various scales, to the relaxation of “classic” restrictions and has brought as a consequence the loss in quality of criminal trials, undeniably resulting in a redefinition of in the guarantee of rights, which had been established as a basic minimum for individuals who have been charged by the punitive power.
