Abstract

Spanish Abstract: Las normas de derecho blando no han sido consideradas como obligatorias, por no aparecer en tratados internacionales. Sin embargo, una interpretacion que reconozca la dignidad humana y pretenda la ampliacion del alcance de los derechos humanos permite que, a traves del control de convencionalidad, dichas normas se integren al ordenamiento juridico colombiano, por componer el Bloque de Constitucionalidad. Esta novedad ha sido introducida por el Codigo Penitenciario y Carcelario, desde el cual las normas de derecho blando pueden incorporarse al Codigo Penal y de Procedimiento Penal; similar ejercicio cabria en el derecho disciplinario, debido a que el sistema penal es uno solo; al igual que el sistema disciplinario. English Abstract: The soft law regulations have not been considered mandatory, because they do not appear on international treaties. However, an interpretation that acknowledges the human dignity and that pretends to amplify the scope of the human rights, allows that through the conventionality control, those regulations integrate to the Colombian law structure, since they compose the constitutionality block. This novelty has been introduced by the Penitentiary Code, from which, the soft law regulations can be incorporated to the Penal Code and the Penal Procedural Code; a similar exercise could be carried out with the disciplinary law, because the penal system is one; as the disciplinary system.
