Annual Report 2022

The annual report of the IACHR is an instrument of reference and institutional transparency that compiles the human rights situation and presents the advances and challenges that have occurred in the region.

 

We present information on the progress and achievements of the work of the IACHR through the different mechanisms. The annual report also includes a regional overview and follow-up on recommendations, as well as information on how the institutional budget is integrated.

 

You will be able to deepen this content in each of the 6 chapters of the Annual Report 2022.

Petition and Case System

The petition and case system is a unique human rights protection mechanism for achieving justice and reparations, combating impunity, and implementing structural measures in the Americas.

By filing a petition with the IACHR, people who have suffered human rights violations can obtain measures of justice and comprehensive reparation for these violations.

These included a total of 34 hearings at the IA Court regarding contentious cases being processed

Contentious cases are cases in wich a State is accused of violating any of the rights established in the American Convention on Human Rights.
 

When participating in the hearings before the IA Court, the IACHR presents its opinions and conclusions on each case, reiterates the responsibilities of States to guarantee human rights, and elaborates on inter-American standards, which allows the IA Court to expand its jurisprudence and pronounce on the case.
