This paper addresses the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, IACHR, contentious jurisdiction with respect to the Inter-American Treaties, different from the American Convention on Human Rights, IACHR. Does the IACHR have conventional jurisdiction regarding those treaties? Do such treaties support that jurisdiction? Do the Rules of Procedure create such jurisdiction? Analyzing the different legal documents, the author pretends to demonstrate the lack of precision of article 23 of the IACHR’ Rules of Procedure, which has created severalunnecessary misunderstandings and false expectations on the Inter-American System of Human Rights’ actors, especially with respect to the IACHR Contentious Jurisdiction. At the end, the author suggests an amendment of the IACHR’ Rules of Procedure, in order to contribute to strengthen the Inter-American Human Rights System and secure the accuracy of its regulations. |
