Which expands to the entire judiciary in the international arena. In this paper the obligation will be discussed, namely, the character of source of law for the content of the judgments of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (hereinafter the Court or CIDH), for those states not part to the dispute: effect erga omnes  the judgments of the Court.
