Summary
is article illustrates the constitutional reasoning upon which domestic courts exhibit resistance
to relativize Inter-American Court’s doctrines. e San José Court has given constitutional
reasoning in a dual dimension, the doctrine of corpus juris internacional, and the doctrine of
control de convencionalidad. Constitutional reasonable resistance against such Inter-American
authoritative doctrines has become manifest in recent cases concerning amnesty in transitional
justice, conicting rights between private parties, and the invalidation of domestic decisions.
To overcome mutual backlashes between Inter-American and domestic judges, this paper seeks
their potential of a more harmonious, democracy-oriented interaction on the basis of shared
constitutional reasoning.

Resumen
Este artículo ilustra el razonamiento constitucional sobre el cual los tribunales nacionales
muestran resistencia a relativizar las doctrinas de la Corte Interamericana. La Corte de San
José ha dado un razonamiento constitucional en una doble dimensión, la doctrina del corpus
juris internacional, y la doctrina del control de convencionalidad. La resistencia constitucional
razonable contra tales doctrinas autorizadas interamericanas se ha manifestado en casos recientes
relativos a la amnistía en la justicia transicional, los derechos conictivos entre partes privadas y la
invalidación de las decisiones internas. Para superar las reacciones recíprocas mutuas entre jueces
interamericanos y nacionales, este artículo busca su potencial de una interacción más armoniosa
y orientada a la democracia sobre la base del razonamiento constitucional compartido.

of States Parties to the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR) have collaborated
to transform constitutional cultures towards the future emergence of Ius Constitutionale
Commune (Von Bogdandy et al., 2017). In this context, we may observe the co-existence
