Administrative justice and cuban constitution

Abstract

It is very common nowadays, among contemporary juridical systems, that the constitution establishes and reinforces mechanisms to protect citizens rights and legitimate interests against the political power; particularly, the judicial review of the administrative action. This is not the case, though, of Cuba. This paper analyzes the nearly inexistent role of the Cuban constitution in promoting the administrative justice and its negative effects. It aims to allow a change of perspective and attitude, in those who are responsible to create and apply the law, concerning the role of the judicial review of the administrative action, in order to provide citizens real guarantees to defend their rights and interests in their relations with the public administration
