It’s common to argue that constitutional dispositions with a principle structure have an opened content that requires a concretization through interpretation. However, several institutions assume this function (Legislative, Courts, the administration or the people itself), even if there is no clarity on their specific competence. In this context, the present investigation intents to identify the main responsible of fundamental rights interpretation, proposing their respective competence. We postulate that there is no neutrality in the constitutional interpretation; instead, it is an important amount of discretion and political legal creation. Acy, rule of majority, rights, quality of democracy, amnesty laws, Inter American system of human rights, conventionality control.

Palabras llave : Constitutional interpretation; fundamental rights; Constitution.
