The human right to equality and non-discrimination in the peruvian constitutional court case law

Abstract

Equality and non-discrimination are part of the foundations of our Constitutional Order, comprising a fundamental principle and right that irradiates the horizontal and vertical relations of our legal system. In this article, the author analyzes the jurisprudential line of the Constitutional Court on equality and non-discrimination in Peru, which has determined the exercise and enjoyment of the fundamental rights of historically discriminated groups. The analysis of this issue is imperative, since discrimination has been present since the beginning of history, being a structural and intersectional problem.
