Sumario:This article addresses the analysis of the T-232 of 2024 ruling by the Colombian ConstitutionalCourt, which resolves a surrogacy case involving Leticia, a minor who lost her nationality due to inconsistencies in her birth registration. The legal action filed by her father, Boris, sought to restore the rights of the child, who was left stateless. The Court, in its decision, recognized Leticia’s right to Colombian nationality and emphasized the State’s obligation to protect the fundamental rights of children in accordance with international standards. This paper examines the violation of the child’s fundamental rights and the lack of regulation in Colombian legislation regarding surrogacy, which allowed for the situation of statelessness. Furthermore, it explores the need for clear legislation in Colombia to prevent future rights violations in similar cases.
