On November 9, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights opened a training Course in Honduras on “Impunity and serious human rights violations” to take place from November 9 to 13 over the videoconferencing platform of the “Francisco Salomón Jiménez Castro” judicial training academy. The Course is attended by over 75 judicial officers, including judges, public prosecutors and staff from the State’s Attorney of the Republic of Honduras.

Professor Elizabeth Salmón Gárate will teach this Course, discussing issues of serious human rights violations, state responsibility, impunity, and reparations in the case law of the InterAmerican Court.

The training program is part of the project “Strengthening Human Rights Protection and the Rule of Law through Jurisprudential Dialog, Capacity Building and Enforcement of the Judgments of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras,” that the Inter-American Court is holding with support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (COSUDE) and the Honduran “Francisco Salomón Jiménez Castro” judicial training academy.
