BELLOTT LOPEZ, Carlos. Distribution of State resources between governments, in accordance with the Constitution and human rights in Bolivia. Rev. Jur. Der. [online]. 2025, vol.14, n.22, pp.19-42.  Epub Oct 10, 2025. ISSN 2413-2810.

State resources in Bolivia are currently distributed among governments based on population, according to data from the Population and Housing Census. However, this approach is incompatible with human rights doctrine -given it does not contribute to social equality by concentrating resources in areas with greater development- and it is also unconstitutional -given that the bolivian Constitution mandates distribution based on development needs, assigned responsibilities, and revenue collection capacity. The first criterion is primarily for investment and is based on situational data from the Census and other statistical data, while the second is primarily for institutional functioning, based on a competency based costing analysis.

Keywords : Public financing; fiscal policy; fiscal pact; distribution of state resources; fiscal equity.
