Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos

The Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos (Inter-American Commission on Human Rights) is an autonomous body of the Organization of American States (OAS). Its role is to promote and protect human rights across the Americas by monitoring countries' adherence to international standards, examining individual and group complaints of rights violations, and offering recommendations. The commission conducts on-site investigations, raises awareness, and supports reforms to ensure justice and respect for fundamental freedoms. It functions as a regional safeguard, encouraging governments to honor their commitments to human rights and providing victims with a platform to seek redress.
