Abstract
This paper endorses the claim that, within the Colombian legal order, there is no constitutional right to block public ways during a protest. Furthermore, there is no human right with such content in the Inter-American Human Rights System. Instead, authorities have a power, and in many cases, a duty, to unblock public ways, when this disproportionately interferes with other constitutional rights or goods.
