The petition of right and the core aims of the administrative silence, plus some doctrinal conceptions

Este artículo de reflexión es resultado de la investigación titulada “Disquisiciones jurídicas sobre el silencio administrativo en Colombia” realizado al interior del grupo de investigación de Estudios Sociales, Políticos y Jurídicos del programa de Derecho de la Universidad Autónoma del Caribe. Se realiza un análisis de algunos aspectos del derecho de petición y del controversial tema del silencio administrativo en sus diferentes variantes, subrayando algunas concepciones de carácter doctrinario de notables tratadistas del derecho administrativo al igual que la jurisprudencia pertinente. Se busca explicar y justificar la razón de ser de tal institución, así como destacar la postura asumida por el autor frente a los interrogantes que se suscitaron durante la investigación. Es relevante destacar las escasas disposiciones incluidas en el Código Contencioso Administrativo del país, particularmente las referidas al silencio negativo sustancial y al silencio procesal, lo cual permitió que las reflexiones iniciales se convirtieran en un proyecto de investigación.Abstract: This article is the result of a research project entitled “Legal disquisitions about administrative silence in Colombia” carried out within the research group of social, political and legal studies law program at the Autonomous Caribbean University.
