IACHR strengthened
On September 30, 2016, the IACHR announced that the severe financial crisis announced in May had been overcome. The IACHR President, Commissioner James Cavallaro, said:
“This was possible thanks to the special financial efforts done by Member States and other donors to help solve the urgent problem. The crisis announcement led to a mobilization of resources with a speed not usual in the world of international cooperation. This is further evidence that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has an extraordinary institutional legitimacy among Member States and other international donors, be it States and international or regional organizations”.
