IACHR concerned over United States' measures that impact the effective exercise of human rights
Washington, DC—The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) expresses its concern regarding recent measures adopted by the United States that may impact the effective exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms. In fulfillment of its mandate to promote the observance and protection of human rights throughout the Americas, the IACHR urges the United States to take all necessary steps to ensure the full enjoyment of human rights for all individuals under its jurisdiction. This should be carried out in strict adherence to its international commitments and in alignment with the applicable inter-American human rights standards, particularly as enshrined in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man.
