Abstract

This study aims to analyze the lack of effective compliance in Argentina with the decisions of the Inter-American Human Rights System (IAHRS). Through a case analysis, it evaluates the Supreme Court's role in applying international law in general, and the decisions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in particular. Based on this analysis, advances and setbacks are identified in the different positions adopted by the Supreme Court, which then allows for the identification of problems. Finally, the study proposes a way by which to overcome the challenges and thereby improve the level of compliance with IAHRS decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
