Análisis del principio de moralidad administrativa frente al fenómeno de la corrupción en Colombia

Abstract

this document intends to present an analysis to the treatment given by the Colombian Council of State in its proposal of conceptualization of administrative corruption through jurisprudential discourse. It is based on a semantic approach to the concept and subsequently the sentences in which the corporation referred to corruption are reviewed; from this analysis it is inferred that for this high court, administrative corruption turns out to be the degradation of the principle of administrative morality; which in turn implies studying this figure from the normative level of principle, not as a collective right. One of the possible conclusions reached by this work is that, although the concept of administrative corruption is nourished by moral criteria for its assessment, configuration and sanction, its nature is strictly legal, but this does not imply that it is considered autonomously, but rather for its legal reproach, it is necessary to make use of the figure of administrative morality
