The Supreme Court is the last domestic court authorized to administer justice in Argentina, meaning that its rulings can only be questioned before authorized international bodies, such as the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, although since 2017, the majority of the court has held that no international court can overturn its rulings. It has also been accepted that it is ultimately responsible for exercising constitutional control over norms, in which the constitutionality of a norm or a ruling by lower courts is questioned.
The members of the Supreme Court are chosen by the President.

García-Mansilla Case

The minister ultimately resigned from his position on April 7 of that same year.
