The Inter-American System Of Human Rights: Challenges For The Future, Claudio Grossman
The Inter-American System Of Human Rights: Challenges For The Future, Claudio Grossman

The institutions involved are the organs responsible for supervising compliance with the established rules: the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights ("the Commission") and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ("the Court").

Prosecuting Sexual Violence In Correctional Settings: Examining Prosecutors’ Perceptions, Brenda V. Smith, Jaime Yarussi
Project on Addressing Prison Rape - Articles
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) is the first piece of federal legislation that expressly and exclusively addresses sexual abuse of persons in custody.

The Wto And The Anti-Corruption Movement, Padideh Ala'i
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Governmental policies aimed at fighting corruption are part of the good governance criteria set forth by the World Bank and other donor agencies.
