| Summary: | "The Inter-American System of Human Rights (IASHR) fosters structural transformations in national societies throughout the Americas. This collection of analyses builds upon the studies on Ius Contitutionale Commune en America Latina and Latin American transformative constitutionalism to map out both the ground-level human rights impact of the IASHR and the institutional characteristics that have enabled such transformations. The volume starts with essays framing the concept and context of IASHR impact. Then, it navigates thematic analyses on specific rights and types of violations that are front and center to the protection of human rights in Latin America. The concluding essays explore whether and how it is possible to optimize the actions of the Inter-American System, indicating possible paths to increase positive human rights impact. The editors contend that the IASHR victim-centric approach, community of practice, and openness to institutional reinvention have enabled it to create a virtuous cycle that catalyzes human rights in the Americas, furthering dignity and the Rule of Law throughout the continent"-- |
