18 San Salvador, the Protocol to Abolish the Death Penalty, the Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, the Convention of Belém do Pará on the Eradication of Violence against Women, the Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons, etcetera. The task is to ensure consistency between actions at the national level and the international commitments made by the State that generate specific obligations for the latter and recognize certain rights for the individual (underlining added). 47. The foregoing reflects that, in fact, the parameter of the “diffused control of conformity with the Convention" encompasses not only the American Convention, but also its additional "Protocols,” as well as other international instruments that have been the subject of integration to the Inter-American corpus juris through the jurisprudence of the I/A Court of H.R. The purpose of its mandate, -as stated by the Inter-American Court in a recent ruling,- "is the implementation of the Convention and other treaties that grant it jurisdiction"60 and, as follows, the interpretation of those treaties. 48. For purposes of the parameter of the "diffused control of conformity with the Convention," regarding "jurisprudence," all of the interpretations should be encompassed made by the I/A Court of H.R. of the American Convention, its additional Protocols, and other international instruments of the same nature that are integrated in said Inter-American corpus juris, those of which are of the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court. It should not be forgotten “that human rights treaties are living instruments whose interpretation must consider the changes over time and present-day conditions.”61 Specifically in Advisory Opinion OC-16/99, requested by the United Mexican States, on "The right to information on consular assistance within the framework of the guarantees of due process of law," the I/A Court of H.R. stated: 62 The corpus juris of international human rights law comprises a set of international instruments of varied content and juridical effects (treaties, conventions, resolutions and declarations). Its dynamic evolution has had a positive impact on international law in affirming and building up the latter’s faculty for regulating relations between States and the human beings within their respective jurisdictions. This Court, therefore, must adopt the proper approach to consider this question in the context of the evolution of the fundamental rights of the human person in contemporary international law.(underlining added). 49. The "interpretations" of this regulation of the Convention include not only those in the judgments of "contentious cases," but also in the interpretations made in other orders issued. 63 Thus, the interpretations fall within the "provisional measures;" on "the monitoring of compliance with the judgments," or, even, on the request for an "interpretation of the judgment" in terms of Article 67 of the Pact of San Jose. Moreover, it should also encompass the interpretations derived from the 60 Cf. Case of Ibsen Cárdenas and Ibsen Peña v. Bolivia, supra note 24, para. 199. 61 OC-16/99 of October 1, 1999, para. 114. 62 OC-16/99, supra note 60, para. 115. 63 In terms of Article 29 of the Court Rules of Procedure, in force as of January 1, 2010, that establish: “Article 31. Resolutions. 1. Judgments and orders completing proceedings shall be rendered exclusively by the Court. 2. All other orders shall be rendered by the Court if it is sitting and by the Presidency if it is not, unless otherwise provided. Decisions of the Presidency that are not merely procedural may be appealed from to the Court. 3. Judgments and orders of the Court may not be contested in any way.”
