Talk:Public International Law/Human Rights Law/Human Rights Protection/Inter-American Human Rights System

Review: 12 June 2023
Dear authors,

Thanks also from my side, and I agree with Max & Sué that this is an important and nice chapter that, however, still needs a bit of work as the chapter remains a bit superficial and technical to date. I added some suggestions and possible references in the text, mainly relating to:

- Clarification of the relationship between Court & Commission; highlighting gatekeeping function of the Commission in the system and the fact that individuals cannot directly apply to the Court; - The part on the Commission is quite technical and imo the important role this body plays does not come out quite properly; - Reparations: important to add some additional references and case-law; - Conventionality control: I think its very important to explain how the court doctrinally construes this instrument which is quite emblematic for the rather "monist" perspective the Court takes. Form a European perspective, this is quite unique; I added some possible references.

Review: 6 June 2023
Dear Verena, Walter, and Andrés,

This chapter is a particularly important addition to our textbook and one the many things that sets it apart from other existing textbooks. Unfortunately, I think there is still quite some work to be done to make this chapter publishable. Apart from the aspects Max highlighted already, namely length and lack of footnotes, I would also highlight the need for more cohesiveness both within the sub-chapter and in relation to the sub-chapters on other regional human rights systems and on recurring themes in international human rights law. Please keep this cohesiveness in mind when revising the chapter. I have also added some comments on details and made some linguistic changes.

With best wishes,

Sué

Review: May 26, 2023
Your chapter offers a detailed introduction that covers important developments, rules, and institutions within the system. As it currently stands, the chapter exceeds the desired word count. To align with the overall structure of the textbook, I suggest reducing the length by approximately half, aiming for around 3,000 words. I understand that this may require significant revision and restructuring. I recommend reviewing the other chapters in the textbook that focus on specific human rights systems, which all adhere to a maximum word count of 3,700 words. You could consider my proposed suggestions for truncating certain sections. Alternatively, we could explore the option of including advanced text boxes on the Wikibooks platform to preserve the complete content, while omitting some of them in the printed version to adhere to the desired length.

I noticed that the second part authored by Walter and Andres lacks sufficient footnotes.

You will also find some comments in your chapter in which I elaborate on something more specific. To view these comments, open your chapter page and click "Edit" in the top-right menu bar.

Some parts of the chapter are still missing. It would be great if you could finish the chapter by the end of May at the latest. The sooner you finish, the better we can review your chapter and the more time you have to use our comments to improve the chapter. Be prepared to edit your chapter at very short notice if you hand it in late.

Some minor things:
 * Note that the following parts are still missing: required knowledge, learning objectives, conclusion
 * There are some issues with the formatting of the footnotes, which are not always consistent with the OSCOLA citation style. To ensure the chapter is fully compliant with OSCOLA, you should review the formatting of the footnotes and make the necessary corrections.
 * You could add some links to other chapters of the textbook.
 * Note that I have made some linguistic improvements to the text

Dear Verena,

Thank you for submitting this outline. I enjoyed reviewing it and I'm really looking forward to read the hole chapter in a few months. This looks like a great chapter for the IACHR system. Regarding content I have nothing to add so far.

Technically, you could insert a link to your (en.wikibooks) user page next to "Author" at the beginning of this page (see, for example, my chapter on Case Analysis).

Thank you very much for your work and keep it up!

Outline Review 3 November
Dear Verena,

Thanks also from my side and I also don't have much to add at this stage. I think it would be great if some of the characteristic features of the IA system in comparison to the other human rights bodies would be discussed in the chapter, an example perhaps being the rather innovative and at times brave stance the IACtHR at times takes. Maybe this could already be reflected in one of the headings?
