The right to die with dignity under the jurisprudence of human rights lawLa muerte digna bajo la jurisprudencia del derecho internacional de los derechos humanosMiró Quesada Gayoso, JosefinaRight to die with dignitydignified lifeautonomyfreedomeuthanasiaMuerte dignavida dignaautonomíalibertadeutanasiaCurrently, the right to die with dignity has come to the forefront in the Peruvian political debate since the domestic legal framework not only denies this right to whom aims to exercise, but penalizes it. However, when transcending this legal framework, the outlook varies.This article explores the scope and content of the human rights that underpin the right to die with dignity exercised by a conscious person in full mental faculties requesting to put an end to its life due to intolerable pain suffered as a result of an incurable disease. Based on the study of international instruments of human rights protection, as well as the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, it is argued that one’s faculty to intervene in one’s life not only does not constitute a violation of international obligations of States Parties to treaties such as the American Convention, but represents the respect and guarantee of such rights.El derecho a morir dignamente ha ganado relevancia en el debate público en el Perú a partir del caso de Ana Estrada. Se trata de la primera peruana que solicita al Estado reconocer este derecho y evitar la criminalización de una de sus formas: la eutanasia. Por encima del marco jurídico interno, se aprecian importantes contribuciones desde el derecho internacional en la delimitación de este derecho.El presente artículo analiza los alcances, y el contenido de los derechos humanos que fundamentan al acceso a una muerte digna por parte de una persona consciente y en plenas facultades mentales, que solicita el cese de su vida debido a dolores intolerables que padece como resultado de una enfermedad incurable. A partir del estudio de instrumentos internacionales de protección de derechos humanos, así como la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, la autora sostiene que la facultad de cada quien de intervenir sobre su proceso de muerte no solo no constituye una vulneración a las obligaciones internacionales de Estados Parte de tratados como la Convención Americana, sino que representa el respeto y garantía de tales derechos.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2020-09-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/themis/article/view/24189THEMIS Revista de Derecho; Núm. 78 (2020): Competencia; 503-5191810-9934reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/themis/article/view/24189/22952http://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/themis/article/view/24189/22979info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/241892024-02-08T13:24:09Z |
