While most of the current literature discussing the IAHRS focuses on increasing state compliance with its mandates, this research analyzes evidence that suggests that, even in cases of high compliance, IAHRS measures still fail to successfully protect human rights on the ground. This study analyzes the Inter-American Human Rights System (IAHRS) and identifies a largely overlooked problem facing this regional human rights system.
