With the adoption of the concept of judicial precedent, the Constitutional Court in Colombiahas been able to establish judicial guidelines in their decisions, which derive into mandatory policies for all judges and administrative entities in the country. This is the case of the content of T-025/2004 decision and its following acts. Departing from this situation, and examining whether first instance judges applied the Constitutional Court’s precedent in their decisions, this paper examines a total of 224 decisions delivered by the Circuit Judges in Medellín between 2012 and 2013, which involved claims of humanitarian aid by victims of forced displacement. Results of the analysis show that only 4% of the decisions did take into account the constitutional standards determined by the Court.
