Online guide to the inter-American system of human rights written by Cecilia Cristina Naddeo who is a JSD (Doctor of the Science of the Law) candidate at Stanford Law School. The guide was published in 2010 on the Globalex website and made freely available by the Hauser Global Law School Program at the New York University School of Law. The guide describes the historical development of the Inter-American system of human rights focusing on the institutional features of the system. The author looks at the development of the most important human rights instruments in this region: the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, the Charter of the Organization of American States and the American Convention on Human Rights. There is also information on the two monitoring bodies- the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and on the various regional bodies. Links to various sources of information for human rights in this region are also given. The guide was updated in 2022 by Francisco A. Avalos who is Foreign and International Law Librarian at the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona.
