which of the following countries?
A Brazil
B
Sweden
C Colombia
D South Africa
Explanation
The doctrine of ‘Unconstitutional
State of Affairs’ originated in Colombia and was later adopted in Brazil.
As the term suggests, an unconstitutional state of affairs is specifically
meant for a situation where the violation of rights is not individualized, but
structural.
It is a legal ruling that allows the Constitutional Court to acknowledge the
failure of both the Legislative and Executive branches of government to enforce
public policies against widespread and systemic violation of fundamental
rights, thus justifying a judicial intervention in order to combat the
structural causes of the violations and to put everything back in order with
the Constitution.
hence, option C is correct.
