Ms. Hertz (Chile) said, with reference to the status of the Convention in Chilean law, that there were two opposing opinions in the country: the Chilean Government considered that the international instruments to which Chile was party took precedence over domestic law, whereas the Constitutional Court was of the opinion that they occupied an intermediate rank between domestic legislation and the Constitution.
Mme HERTZ (Chili) dit à propos du rang de la Convention dans l'ordre juridique chilien que deux visions s'opposent dans le pays: d'après le Gouvernement chilien, les instruments internationaux auxquels le Chili est partie priment le droit interne, tandis que, selon le Tribunal constitutionnel, ces instruments se situent entre la législation interne et la Constitution.
