#19 The Reform of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) is a cornerstone of the human rights advocacy and protection system we have in the region. Over the past two years, the Commission has undergone a process—officially called “strengthening,” but which at times seemed to be “challenging”—that ultimately achieved a semblance of reform. All indications are that the changes adopted as a result of this process will improve the Commission’s performance and its ability to meet the current needs of the region.
