Resumo: From a social viewpoint, one of the main features that ensures the right to gender identity is the exercise of the right to a name. In early 2016, Costa Rica consulted the Inter-American Human Rights Court about the compatibility between International Human Rights Law and its domestic juridical system, which requires a judicial procedure in order to have a person´s first name legally modified. Therefore, we suggest a progressive analysis of this legal branch throughout the jurisprudence ruled by the referred Court. We also claim that the concepts of sexual orientation and gender identity both bear conventional status so as to make the non-discrimination and pro persona principles effective. We conclude that in this matter the enforcement of Costa Rica´s civil domestic law is not consistent with the International Human Rights Law.

El Estado de Costa Rica ha solicitado a principios de 2016 a la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos que emita una opinión consultiva acerca de la compatibilidad de su ordenamiento jurídico interno que impone un trámite judicial para que las personas puedan modificar su nombre de pila, en relación con el Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos. Por consiguiente, se formula un análisis evolutivo de esta rama jurídica a través de la propia jurisprudencia del tribunal en cuestión. Se expone que las categorías de orientación sexual y de identidad de género gozan de status convencional a los efectos de aplicar los principios pro persona y de no discriminación. En consecuencia, se concluye que la aplicación de la legislación civil interna de Costa Rica es contraria al Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos siempre que se trate del ejercicio del cambio de nombre como corolario de asumir una identidad de género contraria a la determinada por el sexo biológico.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2018-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/74845Revista Direito GV; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2018): jan-abril.
