Treaty

International Monitoring and Implementation – The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights

Although there is no formal procedure calling for periodic reports from the State parties on measures implementing their obligations under the Convention, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights can ask parties to report on the human rights situation in their respective countries. The Commission can make recommendations and reports annually on compliance by the State parties concerned with these recommendations.

State parties that ratify the San Salvador Protocol on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights do undertake obligations which requires that they “submit periodic reports on the progressive measures they have taken to ensure due respect for the rights set forth in this Protocol.”
