Highlights of our latest newsletter…

IHR LEGAL Newsletter April – June 2023

  • On June 7, 2023, IHR Legal assisted J.P. and her daughter A.P., a child with hearing loss arbitrarily institutionalized since 2017 in Colombia, in filing a communication and request for provisional measures before the HRC. Due to a decision that declared A.P. adoptable and the fact that the child was never heard throughout the proceedings, the HRC granted the provisional measures, ordering the suspension of the decision, as well as urging the Colombian authorities to guarantee her right to be heard, considering her specific needs.
  • On April 21, 2023, the ACHPR issued a statement condemning the bombings in Sudan, caused by the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict began from the coup that took place in 2021, from which Sudan began to be governed by two military men, who disagree, among others, on the ways in which the country should be governed. Thus, on April 15, days of tension began, with bombings and shootings, which resulted in the death of more than 400 civilians. The ACHPR condemned the violence and pointed out the violation of numerous human rights.
  • On May 23, 2023, the ECtHR decided that Bulgaria is internationally responsible for the violation of the prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment, as well as the prohibition of discrimination, due to the inadequate protection of a 15-year-old victim of domestic violence. A.E., the applicant, was in a relationship with D.M. In 2019, the victim was assaulted by D.M., for which she went to the hospital and the social service, which put her in contact with the Prosecutor’s Office. Despite the facts, the Prosecutor’s Office decided not to open criminal proceedings. The ECtHR found, inter alia, that the physical violence suffered together with intimidation constituted degrading treatment and that Bulgaria failed to consider A.E.’s position of disadvantage as a victim of domestic violence.
  • On May 23, 2023, the IACHR published a report on “Human rights of the elderly and national protection systems in the Americas”. The report is the result of the IACHR’s concern for older persons, a group of people who have historically been subject to discrimination. The report covers a range of issues, including the rights recognized in the American Convention on Human Rights, as well as numerous recommendations to States.
