The concept of progressivity, understood as the gradual fulfillment of human rights, was historically a problematic category, which served as a justification for non-compliance and state inaction. In fact, the misunderstanding of this term has led to the non-recognition of the enforceability and justiciability of social rights, which are considered to be mere good intentions. Moreover, it would generate impunity in the event of a violation of any right. However, this concept has evolved with the normative and jurisprudential development of International Human Rights Law (IHRL). This evolution of the concept has influenced the Peruvian legal system and is reflected in the regulations and jurisprudence. However, it is necessary to highlight that the conceptions of progressivity in international law and domestic law are dissonant. For this reason, this paper will seek to provide an approach to the concept of progressivity in the peruvian legal system based on the analysis of international instruments and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. In the end, it is possible to conclude that the most favorable concept of progressivity for the protection and fulfillment of human rights should be adopted. In this sense, I consider that progressivity should be understood as the effective and constant advancement of the right and that gradualness shall not be used as an excuse for the State not to issue guarantee measures, and the progress obtained cannot be unjustifiably regressive.
