Sumario:The Inter-American Human Rights System has been an integral part of the regional institutional landscape of the Americas since the mid-20th century. A progressive development of regional human rights jurisprudence is reflected in the way the system has struggled since the Cold War, and with the return to democratic rule in the region. Democratic rule as such is not a guarantee for the respect of human rights. The Inter-American Human Rights System, therefore, has gradually evolved into a transnationalized regime as the system has opened up space for transnational political activity.
