IHR LEGAL Newsletter January – March 2023

  • On March 27, 2023, the OHCHR launched a new country report concerning freedom of expression in Yemen. The report covers a number of aspects related to freedom of expression in the country and presents quantitative data on violence suffered by journalists, individualization of cases of violence against the press, as well as formulation of various recommendations to the State, in the current context of conflict in Yemen driven by propaganda and misinformation.

 

  • On March 21, 2023, the ACHPR published Resolution No. 550 on Business and Human Rights in Africa. On the basis of the rights to freely dispose of wealth and natural resources, to economic, social and cultural development, and to a generally satisfactory and development-friendly environment recognized in the African Charter, the ACHPR urged the African Union to take a series of measures to motivate States to apply a human rights-based approach to the implementation of national blue economy frameworks, among other measures.

 

  • On March 17, 2023, the ECtHR found that there has been a positive change in the prosecution of hate crimes against homosexual persons in Lithuania, and therefore did not find a violation of the right to an effective remedy in the case “Valaitis v. Lithuania”. The applicant, Mr. Jonas Valaitis, published an essay in which he mentioned a finalist of a television competition who had publicly declared himself to be gay. In response, several hateful comments against the gay community were published. Before the ECtHR, the applicant complained that the State had failed to take effective measures to protect gay persons from hate speech. Nonetheless, the ECtHR considered that there had been no discriminatory attitude on the part of the Lithuanian authorities and that although the preliminary investigation did not lead to the conviction of those responsible, there had been no violation of Article 13 of the ECHR, taken as a whole.

 

  • On March 6, 2023, the IACHR elected its Board of Directors for 2023, being the second all-female Board of Directors in history and the first all-female Board of Directors from Central American and Caribbean countries. The Board of Directors is composed of the President, Commissioner Margarette May Macaulay of Jamaica, the Vice President, Commissioner Esmeralda Arosemena de Troitiño of Panama, and the Second Vice President, Commissioner Roberta Clarke of Barbados.
