SIMORED Plus PlatformSummary
The national mechanism for implementation, reporting and follow-up was until now the "Interinstitutional Commission for Human Rights". It was composed of representatives of all branches of the State (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial), as well as representatives of Civil Society, and it engaged with both UN and inter-American human rights systems.
Law 80-25 was recently approved, thus transferring the mandate of a national mechanism from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Ministry of Justice and its new Vice Ministry of Human Rights.
