Resumen:
Sumario:Abstract. As regards filiation, different types of regulations co-exist within the Uruguayanlegal system: based on internal or international sources, on material or conflict sources,drawn up since the 19th century to this day, regulations which reflect prevailing legislativepolicies at the time in the national, regional or universal societies. Some regulations makea severe distinction between different types of filiation – especially between legitimate and illegitimate filiation – and put forward discriminatory solutions, while others establish theobligation to recognize equal rights for all children, them having been born in or out ofwedlock. The content of these sources is analyzed in this paper, how they interact, what the national and the international legislator has done and will have to do as regards this subject, as well as the role played by the judge when it comes to interpreting and applying International Private Law regulations on filiation, taking into account human rights conventions, the role of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the effect of the supervening ius cogens in the Treaties on International Civil Law of Montevideo of 1889 and 1940, as well as in the International Private Law based on internal sources and the consequences of the criteria proposed.
