La communauté internationale s’est dotée du jus cogens sans lui conférer un contenu déterminé, laissant aux juridictions internationales le soin de déterminer le contenu substantif des normes impératives. Alors que la Cour internationale de Justice ne semble pas avoir embrassé ce rôle, la Cour interaméricaine des droits de l’homme a développé une méthode d’interprétation entièrement axée sur la protection de la personne humaine, qui l’a inéluctablement menée à conférer un contenu au jus cogens. La Cour a mis sur pied un système cohérent de droits et d’obligations, au sommet duquel se situent les droits impératifs, dont la sanction entraine la responsabilité aggravée de l’État. Plusieurs facteurs ont contribué à cette activité jurisprudentielle innovante que la présente étude analyse. Il importe de voir cependant si le discours universaliste de la Cour basé sur l’unicité de la personne humaine est susceptible de contribuer à l’édification d’un jus cogens réellement universel. Prix Mariano Garcia Rubio 2010 du meilleur mémoire de Master en droit international. The adoption of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties in 1969 introduced the concept of jus cogens into the realm of the international legal order. The international community of States nevertheless decided to leave the determination of its substantive content to international Courts. While the International Court of Justice appears to have been reluctant to perform such a function, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has developed a creative and dynamic method of interpretation intended to afford a full and complete protection to human beings; such an approach resulted inevitably in the identification of the content of peremptory norms. The Inter-American Court has therefore established a coherent system of rights and obligations where violations of jus cogens norms leads to the aggravated responsibility of the defendant State. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to identify the factors…

This text about the inter-American human rights system combines a comprehensive case-based review of the system's jurisprudence and procedures with practice-oriented discussions to enable English-speaking students and practitioners to apply the system for addressing human rights violations in the Americas. In addition to using case excerpts from the Inter-American Commission and Court to illustrate the system's jurisprudence in each area of human rights, the book employs case studies to survey the real-world impact of the system's decisions in the countries under its jurisdiction. It provides analysis on a wide range of practical issues that advocates face when interacting with the Commission or Court and explores current debates on possible reforms of the system.

The first edition of The American Convention on Human Rights showed the hesitant steps of a court trying to find its way in a region plagued by egregious human rights violations, the absence of democracy and a significant disregard of international human rights norms. The second edition followed this up by introducing an analysis of the advancement in the reasoning of the Court regarding the violations that it had been dealing with since its inception.This, now co-authored, third edition contains an updated and in-depth analysis of the norms applied by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to deal with the most frequent human rights violations that still occur in Latin America regarding life, humane treatment, personal liberty, due process, access to justice, the principle of legality and judicial protection. The second edition contained a chapter on disappearances, as the Court at the time had significantly developed its reasoning on the matter; this third edition shows the latest evolution on the subject, which still plagues the region. In addition, a new chapter examines discrimination, an issue that has emerged as a frequent and important concern in the Court’s work.This edition also reflects the dynamic development of the Court’s work in recent years, which has evolved to a more refined jurisprudence covering more specific aspects of the rights examined and topics not previously addressed. These include, inter alia, the justiciability of social, economic, cultural and environmental rights; the recognition of collective rights holders and State responsibility for gender-based torture committed by private actors. These advances are the result of considerable progress in the democratization and embrace of human rights in the countries under the Court’s jurisdiction.
