Existe un cierto acuerdo doctrinario en que una de las consecuencias importantes del principio de progresividad en materia de derechos sociales es la llamada prohibici\u00f3n de retroceso o principio de no regresividad. Sin embargo, a pesar de su aparente simplicidad, la prohibici\u00f3n de retroceso plantea interrogantes complejos, pues no es claro cu\u00e1l es su alcance.<\/p>\n

La pregunta que obviamente surge es entonces si es posible o no construir una dogm\u00e1tica apropiada sobre la prohibici\u00f3n de regresividad, que permita controlar judicialmente los eventuales retrocesos de las autoridades en este campo. Conforme a lo anterior, el objetivo principal de este art\u00edculo ser\u00e1 mostrar la relevancia de la discusi\u00f3n colombiana para eventualmente avanzar en una dogm\u00e1tica apropiada sobre el alcance de la obligaci\u00f3n de no retroceso. El texto no se limitar\u00e1 entonces a presentar las decisiones de la Corte Constitucional colombiana sino que intentar\u00e1 extraer de esa evoluci\u00f3n jurisprudencial, y de los debates que ha suscitado, algunas l\u00edneas doctrinales sobre la posible interpretaci\u00f3n apropiada de este principio.<\/p>\n
