ANNUAL REPORT 2009
CHAPTER III
(continuation)
THE PETITION AND
CASE SYSTEM
D.
Status of compliance with the recommendations of the IACHR
49.
Complete compliance with the decisions of the Inter-American Commission is
essential for ensuring that human rights have full force in the OAS member
states, and for helping strengthen the Inter-American system for the
protection of human rights. With that in mind, the IACHR, in this section,
analyzes the status of compliance with the recommendations in the reports
adopted by the Commission in the last nine years.
50.
In
this regard, the OAS General Assembly, in its resolution AG/RES. 2409 (XXXVIII-O/08), “Observations and Recommendations on the Annual
Report of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights,” urged the member
states to follow up on the recommendations of the Inter-American
Commission on Human Rights (operative paragraph 3.b) and to continue to
take appropriate action in connection with the annual reports of the
Commission, in the context of the Permanent Council and the General
Assembly of the Organization (operative paragraph 3.c). Likewise, in its
resolution AG/RES. 2407 (XXXVIII-O/08), “Strengthening of Human Rights
Systems pursuant to the mandates arising from the Summits of the
Americas,” it reaffirmed the intent of the OAS to continue taking concrete
measures aimed at implementing the mandates of the Third Summit of the
Americas, including follow-up of the recommendations of the Inter-American
Commission on Human Rights (operative paragraph 1.b), and instructed the
Permanent Council to continue to consider ways to promote the follow-up of
the recommendations of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights by
member states of the Organization (operative paragraph 3.e).
51.
Both
the Convention (Article 41) and the Statute of the Commission (Article 18)
explicitly grant the IACHR the authority to request information from the
member states and to produce such reports and recommendations as it
considers advisable. Specifically, Article 46 of the IACHR Rules of
Procedure in effect in 2009, provided the following:
1. Once the
Commission has published a report on a friendly settlement or on the
merits in which it has made recommendations, it may adopt the follow-up
measures it deems appropriate, such as requesting information from the
parties and holding hearings in order to verify compliance with friendly
settlement agreements and its recommendations. 2. The Commission shall
report on progress in complying with those agreements and recommendations
as it deems appropriate.
52.
In
compliance with its powers under the Convention and the Statute and with
the above-cited resolutions, and pursuant to Article 46 of the Rules of
Procedure in effect in 2009, the IACHR requested information from the
States on compliance with the recommendations made in the reports
published on individual cases included in its annual reports from 2000
through 2008.
53.
The
table the Commission is presenting includes the status of compliance with
the recommendations made by the IACHR in the cases that have been decided
and published in the last nine years. The IACHR notes that compliance with
different recommendations is meant to be successive and not immediate and
that some recommendations require a reasonable time to be fully
implemented. The table, therefore, presents the current status of
compliance, which the Commission acknowledges as being a dynamic process
that may evolve continuously. From that perspective, the Commission
evaluates whether or not compliance with its recommendations is complete
and not whether it has been started.
54.
The
three categories included in the table are the following:
§
Total
compliance (those cases in which the state has fully complied with all the
recommendations made by the IACHR. Having regard to the principles of
effectiveness and fully observed those recommendations where the state has
begun and satisfactorily completed the procedures for compliance);
§
partial
compliance (those cases in which the state has partially observed the
recommendations made by the IACHR either by having complied with only one
or some of them or through incomplete compliance with all of them);
§
compliance pending (those cases in which the IACHR considers that there
has been no compliance with the recommendations because no steps have been
taken in that direction; because the state has explicitly indicated that
it will not comply with the recommendations made; or because the state has
not reported to the IACHR and the Commission has no information from other
sources that would suggest otherwise).
