Participation of NGOS in the Ibero-american system - (OAS)-

Abstract

NGOs are the bridge for society and other institutions to go to the Inter-American System of Human Rights; thanks to the consultative status, recognizes their participation officially. Once the internal resources of each state for the solution and repairs with respect to the violation of Human Rights are all used, the NGOs are able to resort to the system of the O.A.S. That is why it is relevant in the participation both in the Inter-American System and within each country in order to establish a strong state where human rights are valued and respected, where litigations in terms of violations reach an ideal situation and adapt themselves to conditions of solution, protection and defense of Human Rights. The most outstanding mechanisms that Colombia has used in the subject are: the action for reconsideration, habeas corpus and amicus curiae.
