Rights that break other rights: Democratic reelection and Institutional corruption

Authors

Abstract

Democratic reelection implies the exercise of political rights by citizens to be "elected", with the difference that the candidate for reelection holds a position of power. The foregoing, although it is not a legally reprehensible situation, it is a favorable scenario for the appearance of corrupt behaviors that lead to human rights violations. This article delves into political rights, corruption and State responsibility in democratic reelection, which, as stated, is a human right that, when enjoyed, may violate other rights.
