Abstract

The article reviews the jurisprudence on the compensatory and not punitive nature of the fiscal process. When it is assumed that the purpose of fiscal responsibility rulings is the recovery of public assets and not the punishment of the conduct, it is legally problematic to restrict the essential core of a fundamental right such as the right to due process and participation at some level of public management. The proposed interpretation is based on the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights and rulings of the Constitutional Court and the Council of State. At the end, some mechanisms are proposed to facilitate the recovery of the public resources committed.
