Inter-American SIMORE
What is the Inter-American SIMORE?
Inter-American SIMORE is an online tool that systematizes the recommendations issued by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights through its different mechanisms: approved friendly settlement agreements, annual reports (Chapter IV.B), published merits reports, country reports, thematic reports and granted precautionary measures. It also allows different users of the Inter-American Human Rights System to provide information on the measures adopted by the States in order to comply with these recommendations. It is a mechanism of accountability, transparency, participation and access to information, which facilitates the follow-up of recommendations, strengthens capacities for monitoring measures and promoting compliance with international obligations, and reports on advances and challenges for the protection of human rights in the countries of the region.
The Inter-American SIMORE is coordinated and managed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and was developed with technical cooperation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Paraguay.
