This institutional academic work offers a systematic article-by-article interpretation of the Constitution from the perspective of sitting judges.
Ana Magnolia Méndez Cabrera authored the commentary on Article 59, concerning the right to decent housing. Her analysis links housing to human dignity, personal development, and tenure security, emphasizing the constitutional relevance of titled property access as a public policy priority. Drawing from Constitutional Court jurisprudence and international standards on adequate housing, she highlights components such as habitability, basic services, affordability, suitable location, and legal security.
Her contribution reinforces the book’s pedagogical and technical objective: bridging constitutional text with judicial application and public policy design, strengthening constitutional culture and effective protection of fundamental rights.
