description Can the decisions of a Constitutional Court or Supreme Court be unconstitutional? The answers found in the doctrine and even on constitutionalcase law are not uniform, becoming this question a controversial theme, although   extremely important for Constitutional Law.

Focusing on the Peruvian legal system, the author also presents alternatives to solve the problem these unconstitutional decisions cause.
