Descrição: In a lecture given at 4:30 pm, Wednesday, April 3, Emilio Alvarez Icaza, Executive Secretary, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, discussed the inter-American system and the challenges for its future. The Commission was created as a consultative body and could have been destined to become yet another institution burdened by ancestral rituals, heavy proceedings, and deference to states. The remarkable difference was made by those who were elected to it. Part judge, part rapporteur, the Commission is also referee, facilitator, adviser, technician, catalyst, auditor, inspector, and advocate. It is the international law equivalent of the platypus -- seemingly anomalous but completely congruous when observed in its habitat. The first basic challenge facing the Commission is that de jure and de facto access to judicial guarantees and protections continue to remain a desideratum in the Americas. The second basic challenge concerns the efficacy of the system as a supranational mechanism for the protection of human rights.
