Constitución en Inglés

Foreword The official English version of the Political Constitution of Colombia was accomplished as a result of the alliance between the Constitutional Court of Colombia and the Comparative Constitutions Project - CCP of the Universities of Chicago and Texas. The binding agreement between the two corporations was signed on May 18, 2020, by the Director of CCP, Zachary Elkins on one side, and, on the other, the President of the Constitutional Court, Mr. Justice Alberto Rojas Rios. The Comparative Constitutions Project began at the University of Illinois in 2005 to translate and study the constitutions of the world. In 2013, the organization created the “Constitute Project” to present the text of all Constitutions of the world. Currently, more than 150 Constitutions have been translated into Spanish and English. They have been made available to the public on its official website since September 23, 2013, when it was launched within the framework of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York. The Constitute Project started with funding from Google Ideas (Jigsaw), Indigo Trust, and IC2. Later, the University of Chicago, the Constitutions Unit of University College of London, the National Science Foundation, the Cline Center for Democracy, and the United States Institute for Peace supported the project with contributions both in know-how and funding. Likewise, the project has cooperated with Oxford University Press, the most recognized publishing house in the United Kingdom, and W.S. Hein Publishers in the United States.
