El
pasado miércoles 25 de enero de 2012, la Subcomisión de Derechos
Humanos del Parlamento Europeo llevó a cabo una audiencia sobre el
Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos. A continuación transcribo la descripción oficial del evento y las ponencias que se presentaron:
“The
Inter-American human rights mechanism is a well established regional
system of human rights protection that coexists with the UN-level
universal mechanisms. However, it does face real challenges in terms of
resources and sometimes also with regard to real political backing from
its Member States. The concerns of the Inter-American Court of Human
Rights have increased in recent years due to the increase in the number
of cases that the Inter-American Commission has been able to submit to
the Tribunal. Consequently, there has been a marked increase in the
number of cases on stage of monitoring compliance with the Court's
judgements – thus requiring appropriate follow-up. The European
Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights has from time to time raised
cases that have been adjudicated by the Inter-American System. Most
recently this was the case in the joint hearing with FEMM Committee on
feminicide. With a view to the proposed new EIDHR regulation due to be
presented in this same meeting 25/1, the question of further EU support
to and cooperation with the Inter-American Court and the Commission is
also very timely to consider.*
