It highlights the different approaches among the caselaw of Constitutional Courts of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia. The Brazilian and Colombian Courts emphasize the human dignity as a right, while Ecuadorian and Bolivian choose one original concept: the “good life”, called “bien viver” in Spanish or “sumak kawsay” in indigenous dialect.
