La política de los derechos humanos de la Organización de los Estados Americanos en América Latina (1970-1991)
Abstract
The article provides an analysis on the human rights policy of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Latin America between 1970 and 1991. A description of the evolution of the inter-American system of human rights is followed by an account of the human rights situation and the factors that affected the human rights debate within the OAS in the 1970s and in the 1980s. The author finally concludes on whether the human rights policy of the OAS was successful or not, and examines the question if the human rights issue was used as a tool for political ends.Downloads
