El régimen tarifario de los servicios públicos domiciliarios y la cláusula de progresividad de los DESC en Colombia
Summary: This article analyzes whether or not the current public utilities rates regulations have a favorable effect on the compliance of the progressivity clause of the Economic Social and Cultural Rights (ESCR) and its legal consequences thereof. The methodological approach is based on the interpretation of the legal obligations derived from the International Human Rights Law in relation to ESCR and in accordance with the economic arguments that dictate public policies, as well as the interpretation of the economic rights provisions within International Human Rights. Under this argument, it is explained why the States Parties of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights are legally obliged to ensure the growth of public utilities infrastructure and how the International Law of Human Rights recognizes the limitation of state resources. The article also analyses the principles of the Colombian public services rates regulations and how these were useful to overcome the �bad services trap�. Finally, the article explains why favorable results of the rates regulation result in the application of the �progressivity clause�� in eventual amendments, and the implications of such �protection
