Les Intraduisibles: Spanish-English
Spanish-EnglishVigencia
La vigencia de una norma, una ley, combines the normative aspect of validity and the empirical dimension of effectiveness. English language separates both dimensions. Legal norms that are "in force" refer to actual effectiveness. Legal norms that are "valid" reflect a value assessment: these are legitimate norms that should be enforced.
