The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) is an international body established in 1959 to promote and protect human rights in the Americas. It monitors human rights situations, investigates complaints about violations, and makes recommendations to member states. The Commission operates under the Organization of American States (OAS) and works to ensure that governments respect and uphold the rights of individuals, such as freedom of speech, right to due process, and protection against discrimination. Its efforts help to foster accountability and improve human rights conditions throughout the region.
