Arbitraje de actos administrativos contractuales

In this work the author argues that arbitral justice has full jurisdiction to resolve controversies arising from contractual administrative acts - including their legality - in state contracts. Thus, in the first segment of the book, a description of the current state of the competence of arbitrators is presented, making a jurisprudential and legal analysis. The second part highlights the difficulties that the current jurisprudential panorama generates for public order and the parties, to finally show - in the third section of the book - the reasons why it is asserted that legal operators can deviate from the consolidated jurisprudential position, so that the arbitral competence to judge the legality and economic effects of all administrative acts issued within the framework of state contracts is recognized.

This also includes an exhaustive examination of the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court and the Council of State on objective arbitrability in the face of state contracts, and exposes the urgent need for the Colombian legal system to give preponderant importance to arbitration as alternative conflict resolution mechanism.
