Abstract
En este artículo se analizan las relaciones entre la teoría del derecho de Lon
Fuller y el garantismo jurídico de Luigi Ferrajoli. Como se comprobará, los
principios de legalidad de Fuller y los principios del garantismo penal de
Ferrajoli comparten fundamento y, por esa razón, los segundos pueden ser leídos
a la luz de los primeros. Sin embargo, esto también demuestra que los principios
garantistas tienen una dimensión constitutiva del derecho penal, que va
más allá de la que Ferrajoli les atribuyó. Rupturas y excepciones significativas
a principios como la culpabilidad, la presunción de inocencia, el exclusivo sometimiento
del juez al derecho, etcétera, dan lugar no a manifestaciones iliberales
o autoritarias de derecho penal, como Ferrajoli sostuvo, sino a formas de
control social extrapenales e incompatibles con la forma del derecho.
This article analyzes the relationships between Lon Fuller’s theory of law and Luigi Ferrajoli’s legal guaranteeism. It will be shown that Fuller’s principles of legality and Ferrajoli’s principles of criminal guaranteeism share the same grounds. This is the reason why the latter can be read in the light of the former. However, that also demonstrates that principles of guaranteeism have a constitutive dimension of criminal law that goes beyond what Ferrajoli attributed to them. Significant ruptures of and exceptions to principles such as liability, presumption of innocence, the exclusive submission of the judge to the law, etc., give rise not to illiberal or authoritarian instances of criminal law, as Ferrajoli argued, but to a sort of non-legal instance of social control incompatible with the form law.
