Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze the legislative modifications introduced by virtue of Law 21,208, that typifies actions that violate the freedom of movement of people on public roads through violent and intimidating means, and that originates within the so called «Chilean social outburst» with the aim to protect public order. To this end, a critical analysis of these modifications is undertaken based on international standards on human rights at the inter-American level, in relation to the requirements for limiting the right to protest within contemporary democratic orders. Said require- ments are analyzed according to the normative instrument that contains the limitation, necessity and suitability of the measure. It is concluded that the implementation of this political-normative criminalization program is not only deficient in terms of legislative policy; neither does it satisfies the existing international standards on the matter.
