Defend Human Rights in the Americas!
Human rights are still being violated in the Americas today. When countries fail to defend their own citizens the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights stand up to defend their rights. The Inter-American Human Rights System (IAS) is the last hope for justice for millions of people in the region.
