| description | This scenario is suitable to consider some aspects related to the constitutionalization of criminal law as a categorical expression of a genuine democratic State of law focused on human dignity, with the subsequent
humanization of justice administration. The Constitution of 1991 should be applied preferably in judicial activity. It implies that this norm went from being formal to material source of law, i.e., that decisions to be taken in any kind of judgment or procedures should consider the Constitution -understood composed of the so-called Constitutional Bloc-, because so ordains its article 4: “The Constitution is the supreme law and prevails over any other provisions contrary to it”. It is precisely this situation that led to a new constitutional criminal reading: rights and guarantees on top of adversarial principle and international law of human rights. |

The Constitution of 1991 should be applied preferably in judicial activity. It implies that this norm went from being formal to material source of law, i.e., that decisions to be taken in any kind of judgment or procedures should consider the Constitution -understood composed of the so-called Constitutional Bloc-, because so ordains its article 4: “The Constitution is the supreme law and prevails over any other provisions contrary to it”. It is precisely this situation that led to a new constitutional criminal reading: rights and guarantees on top of adversarial principle and international law of human rights. Este escenario es propicio para plantear algunos aspectos relacionados con la constitucionalización del derecho penal como expresión categórica de la vigencia de un auténtico Estado democrático de derecho centrado en la dignidad humana, con la consecuente humanización de la administración de justicia. La Constitución de 1991 debe ser aplicada preferentemente en la actividad judicial. Lo cual implica que este catálogo normativo pasó de ser fuente formal a material del derecho, es decir, que las decisiones que se adopten en cualquier clase de juicio o procedimiento, deben tener en cuenta la Constitución –entiéndase integrada por el denominado bloque de constitucionalidad–, por cuanto así lo estatuye el artículo 4 superior: “La Constitución es norma de normas y prevalece sobre cualquier otra disposición que le sea contraria”. Es precisamente esta situación la que originó una nueva lectura constitucional del proceso penal: derechos y garantías al cenit del principio acusatorio y el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos.
