Abstract

The authors present the evolution of Inter-American case law on human rights from 2013 to 2016, taking into account the general framework of the system of this particular jurisdiction and the case law issued by the Inter-American Court during this period. The case law encompasses both rulings on contentious cases and advisory opinions. Inter-American Court deliberations have been intense and manifold, and as such have contributed, within its area of expertise, to the integration of what analysts in the field call the rapidly growing Inter-American «ius commune» of human rights. The overview given herein covers important topics in the Inter-American sphere, such as conventionality control, issues regarding migratory processes and internal displacement, the use of force, freedom of expression, the protection of the rights of women, children and adolescents, and the protection of members of indigenous communities and people of African descent.
