The inauguration of the inter-American defenders' era: reflections after the furlan case

- Abstract
- The Inter-American human rights system has recently implemented an unprecedented legal aid model. The latter is based on the free assignment of Inter-American Defenders, who are national public defenders appointed to alleged victims in need of representation before the Court and the Commission. This article discusses some issues within the debate arising from the creation of the “Inter-American Defender” and considers its impact on and challenges for the system, the victims and the national public institutions of the region. The issuance of the first judgment in a case substantiated under this model, the Furlan case, provides an excellent opportunity to contrast the above-mentioned issues with the actual experience of the first two Inter-American Defenders.
