Opinion in BHRRC: Key take-aways from the Inter-American Court judgement on Miskito divers vs. Honduras
By Lucas M. Mantelli, Legal Coordinator for the Mesoamerica and Mexico office of CEJIL.
The Inter-American Court judgement on Lemoth Morris et al. v. Honduras, litigated by the Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL) together with the Association of Disabled Honduran Miskitos Divers (AMHBLI), Mairin Indian Miskitu Asla Takanka (MIMAT), the Research and Communication Reflection Team of the Society of Jesus (ERIC-SJ) and the Legal Team for Human Rights (EJDH), is an important step forward not only for the living conditions of Miskito divers, but also for the establishment of inter-American standards concerning some matters not yet explored by the Regional Court.
