Consultation questionnaire for civil society organizations: Preparation of the thematic report “National Systems for the Implementation of International Decisions on Human Rights: Good Practices Guide”

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has initiated a thematic investigation into the mechanisms and systems that, at the national level, the States of the Americas have established to comply with the recommendations and decisions of the IACHR in particular and the Inter-American System of Human Rights, and other international systems for the protection of human rights in general.

The aforementioned investigation takes as a starting point that the development of international human rights law has begun to raise the need to transcend towards a perspective oriented to the effective assurance of the decisions that international bodies and instances issue when analyzing human rights violations. With this, the idea of ??effective international justice has begun to gain an important boom, where compliance with international decisions is placed as the main axis of reflection, analysis, and questioning.

In this regard, the IACHR is particularly interested in learning about the experience of civil society organizations in activating and using formal and institutional mechanisms that promote compliance with international decisions on human rights. But also, and in greater detail, the experiences related to the promotion of innovative and not necessarily institutional practices, which, derived from the committed work of said organizations, contribute to strengthening the processes, instances, and state mechanisms for compliance with recommendations.
