El presente escrito analiza la cuestión de los tratados en el tiempo en el marco del alcance que la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos le ha dado al ejercicio interpretativo de los convenios sobre las materias propias de su jurisdicción. Las partes 1 y 2 introducen los elementos esenciales de la interpretación de los tratados en el derecho internacional general, proporcionando elementos para la aplicación de la aproximación evolutiva como una herramienta hermenéutica, planteando, así mismo, el aparente debate que existe entre dicha aproximación y el uso de la conducta subsiguiente como criterios interpretativos. La parte 3 estudia el impacto del fenómeno de la fragmentación en el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, evidenciando, a través de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, la aplicación de reglas del derecho internacional general para interpretar la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos. Finalmente, se arriba a conclusiones sobre la interpretación en el tiempo de los tratados en materia de derechos humanos, como resultado del contraste entre la aplicación intertemporal que la Corte ha hecho de la Convención Americana, el Reporte sobre Fragmentación de la Comisión de Derecho Internacional en 2008 y los hallazgos preliminares del Grupo de Estudio sobre Acuerdos y Prácticas Subsiguientes respecto de la interpretación de tratados y el asunto del paso del tiempo.
