Country and Thematic Rapporteurships

In order to distribute the work among its members, since 1990 the IACHR created thematic rapporteurships to devote attention to specific countries, as well as to certain groups, communities, and peoples that are particularly at risk of human rights violations due to their state of vulnerability and the discrimination they faced historically.

Rapporteurships aim to strengthen, promote, and systematize the Inter-American Commission's work on specific issues and countries.

With regard to CARICOM, country Rapporteurships are distributed among the Commissioners in the following manner:
