Foreign Minister Andres Navarro says it is time for regional bodies like the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and Commission of Human Rights to be revised. He commented that times have changed and that both these entities were created when dictatorships prevailed in Latin America. Speaking on the D’Agenda TV show with Hector Herrera Cabral, he said that it is natural and reasonable that at an international level some sectors should be discussing the possibility of those hemispheric organizations being revised and redesigned.
He said that the Dominican government is concerned over the interpretations that both the Inter-American Commission and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights have made of their role and the limits that should be established for exercising this.
Several regional states do not participate, including the United States and Caricom states. The IACHR is an independent organ of the OAS that was created in 1959 to monitor, to promote and protect human rights in the Americas.
