Abstract

Inter-American Court of Human Rights has rendered interesting pronouncements on rights of indigenous peoples relating the use and enjoyment of land with which they maintain immaterial ties. The Court’s pronouncements on internally displaced persons’ state obligations is also of great interest. Finally, we analyze the Advisory Opinions of the Court that have allowed to make States liable whenever they will fail to guarantee the human rights of migrants, either when they do not provide effective means to protect them or when they do not prosecute or sanction violations committed. The inquiry into disappeared constitutes an obligation of States that must actively participate in fact finding and the pursuit for truth.
