Law/Patents - Law (general) / Honduras
Spanish term or phrase: norma operativa
No me suena bien "operative standard" - sea lo que sea la respuesta, favor de incluir referencias. Gracias - Mike :)

El mandato que contiene el último párrafo del artículo 60 convierte a este artículo en una norma programática, es decir que, como lo hemos sostenido lo largo del presente trabajo, requiere ser desarrollado en la Ligislación ordinaria; situación en que no ocurre con el artículo 339, que es un norma operativa de la Constitución, que no estableció la necesidad de Ley secundaria para su vigencia plena.

Although to be honest, in legal writing, this seems to be another example of Spanish phrasing which would be unnecessary in the English draft.

Thank you, Juliana and Lisa - possibly you are right, Lisa, but it still doesn't sound right to me, and since "norm" work also ...

I appreciate your contribution.

agree  LiaBarros: I agree with your translation but not with your commentary. It's important in this case let it clear that the article 339 is an operative norm, I think. This is not implied.

  -> I apologize for not being clearer. I merely meant that to draft the same thing in English would not have required the same phrasing...

Explanation:
Hi Mike
I think your translation, although it doesn't sound quite right to you, seems to be what is generally used. If you do a Google search on "Constitution" and "operative standard" this is used more often than "operative norm".
