Abstract

This is the second part of a commissioned study into Constitutional Justice and Jurisdiction in El Salvador. The first came out in Anuario 11. The main theme in this part is the real possibilities of this kind of justice in a country like El Salvador, with respect to its social, political, economic and cultural development. The essay aims to help readers to locate the subject-matter within its geographical, historical, political and legal context. Having done so, the following question arises: Is El Salvador a State under the rule of law? If it si, its constitutional justice will also be. If it is not, then its inhabitants have a challenge before them in building up the rule of law, as does the rest of the world, in helping them do so.
