Petition for the Declaration of Unconstitutionality of the Appointments of Lijo and García-Mansilla

The decree in question constitutes a clear violation of the National Constitution and a serious affront to the separation of powers and judicial independence. In response, together with the Civil Association for Equality and Justice (ACIJ), the Institute for Comparative Studies in Criminal and Social Sciences (INECIP), and Poder Ciudadano, we filed an action for constitutional protection (amparo).

  

We submit that the Judiciary declare President Milei’s DNU 70/2023 unconstitutional

We filed a petition with Argentina’s federal administrative court. It is our view that the decree violates the separation of powers, suppressing or restricting individual and collective rights and guarantees. We underscore that the DNU’s submission by the executive power breaches constitutional rules, usurping powers that are prohibited to him and reserved for the National Congress.
