International Justice


Since our inception, we have partnered with organizations, funders, civil society representatives, academics, youth activists, and journalists in order to strengthen the core functions and effectiveness of the Inter-American Human Rights System (IAHRS). We have issued recommendations, published proposals, and developed transparent, simplified procedures to ensure that the IAHRS can respond rapidly to assist the most vulnerable groups across the region.

We have sought to improve access to information on jurisprudence and other tools for responding to serious human rights violations, such as SUMMA, our online database of IAHRS jurisprudence.

We have also worked to improve the nomination and selection processes for members of the Commission and Court, including the Executive Secretary and rapporteurship posts at the IACHR. In order to better advocate for gender parity in international representation, we established the GQUAL campaign in 2015.
