Peace agreements aiming to end intra-state armed conflicts have often provided for radical constitutional change, with more than 100 peace agreements concluded since 1989 containing provisions on constitutional reform. When such constitutional change is envisaged to take place within the framework of an existing constitution, as opposed to the making of a new constitution, hard-achieved deals between peace-making parties are exposed to ‘the unconstitutionality challenge’. Although there is ample literature on the making of a new constitution during transitions from conflict to peace, implementing a peace agreement within an existing constitutional framework and ‘the unconstitutionality challenge’ to peace reforms have not been fully examined to date. In this Article, we first identify the modalities in which ‘the unconstitutionality challenge’ is directed at constitutional change rooted in peace agreements. We do so through a comparative survey and by reference to peace processes in Colombia (with the farc-ep) and the Philippines (regarding the Mindanao conflict). We then examine the promise and limitations of three legal strategies in addressing the unconstitutionality challenge: (i) recourse to international law in assessing unconstitutionality, (ii) transitionalism in judicial review, and (iii) attributing supraconstitutional or international legal status to peace agreements. We conclude that while each strategy has some merit, their effectiveness may be limited where they lack legal feasibility or political purchase. The resulting intractability of the unconstitutionality challenge, particularly in jurisdictions where there is a strong commitment to legalism, warrants a rethinking of the link between peace-making and constitutional reform and the importance of taking existing constitutional frameworks in transitional countries seriously.

Más de 100 acuerdos de paz concluidos desde 1989 contienen disposiciones relacionadas con la reforma constitucional. Cuando tales reformas constitucionales están concebidas dentro del marco de una Constitución existente, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en el caso de la creación de una nueva Constitución, los acuerdos alcanzados con tanto esfuerzo entre las partes firmantes están expuestos al “desafío de inconstitucionalidad”. Aunque existe abundante literatura sobre la elaboración de una nueva Constitución durante las transiciones del conflicto a la paz, la implementación de un acuerdo de paz dentro de un marco constitucional existente y el “desafío de inconstitucionalidad” de las reformas para la paz no han sido examinados en su totalidad hasta la fecha. En este artículo identificamos primero las modalidades en las cuales el “desafío de inconstitucionalidad” se dirige a un cambio constitucional originado en acuerdos de paz. El análisis lo realizamos a través de un estudio comparado y con especial referencia a los procesos de paz en Colombia (con las FARC-EP) y en Filipinas (conflicto Mindanao). Luego, examinamos las promesas y las limitaciones de tres estrategias jurídicas para abordar el desafío de inconstitucionalidad, a saber: (i) acudir al derecho internacional en el examen de inconstitucionalidad, (ii) adoptar el transicionalismo en el control judicial y (iii) atribuir un estatus jurídico supraconstitucional o internacional a los acuerdos de paz. Concluimos que mientras cada estrategia tiene algún mérito, su efectividad puede verse limitada cuando carecen de viabilidad jurídica o política. La resultante insolubilidad del desafío de inconstitucionalidad, particularmente en jurisdicciones donde existe un fuerte compromiso con el legalismo, justifica un replanteamiento del vínculo entre la construcción de la paz y la reforma constitucional, y señala la importancia de tomar en serio los marcos constitucionales existentes en los países en transición.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8550235(Revista) ISSN 0122-9893Revista Derecho del Estado, ISSN 0122-9893, Nº. 53, 2022 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Septiembre-Diciembre), pags. 5-53spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
