Abstract

This text analyses the notion of suspect classifications, arguing that its reception in Chilean law is incomplete. First, there is an attempt to clarify this concept, offering a definition and discussing its characteristics and effects. Then, this work examines the lack of constitutional or statutory recognition of these classifications. Finally, it critically analyses the emerging use of such classifications by the Constitutional Court.
