44 of the rights of the child131 and, in particular, in the specific circumstances of the present case, in harmony with the other provisions that affect children, particularly Articles 7, 8, 9, 11, 16, and 18 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 122. In this manner, the referred situation affected what has been named the right to identity, although it is right that is not found expressly established in the Convention, it is possible to determine it on the basis of that provided in Article 8 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which established that said right encompasses the right to nationality, to a name, and to family relationships. Likewise, it can be conceptualized as the collection of attributes and characteristics that allow for the individualization of the person in a society, and, in that sense, encompasses a number of other rights according to the subject it treats and the circumstances of the case. 132 123. In accordance, the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (hereinafter "the OAS") indicated “that the recognition of the identity of persons is one of the means through which observance of the rights to juridical personality, a name, nationality, civil registration, and family relationships is facilitated, among other rights recognized in international instruments, such as the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and the American Convention on Human Rights.” 133 Likewise, it established “that failure to recognize one's identity can mean that a person has no legal proof of his or her existence, which makes it difficult to fully exercise his or her civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.” 134 In the same sense, the Inter-American Juridical Committee expressed that the right to identity is consubstantial to the attributes and human dignity. Consequently, it is an enforceable basic human right erga omnes as an expression of a collective interest of the overall international community that does not admit derogation or suspension in                                                          131 Cf.

Doc L/V/II.133 34, Washington, October 29, 2008, paras. 43 and 44. 132 The right to identity is under the national laws of several American States, such as the Code of Children and Adolescents in Uruguay which establishes the right to identity as one of the essential rights of children. It has also been recognized by international law in some states, such as: a. The cases of the Colombian Constitutional Court, in the sense that "personal identity is a right of a broad sense, encompassing other rights [... and] is a set of attributes, qualities, both biological and those that precisely allow the identification of a subject in society "(in this Regard, see Judgement of guardianship T-477/1995 of October 23, 1995) and b. the Constitutional Tribunal of Peru, noting that "everyone has the right to identity, a right that encompasses both the right to a name, to know ones parents and keep their last names, related to having a nationality and the requirement of State recognition before the law "(in This Regard, see, Second Chamber, Judgement of Constitutional tort remedy of July 25, 2005). 133 Cf. OAS “Inter-American Program for Universal Civil Registry and 'Right to Identity,'" resolution AG / RES. 2286 (XXXVII O/07) of June 5, 2007, resolution AG / RES. 2362 (XXXVIII-O/08) of 3 June 2008, and resolution AG / RES. 2602 (XL-O/10) on follow-upprogram, June 8, 2010. On this aspecto, the Inter-American Juridical Committee considered that the American Convention on Human Rights, although not for the right to express identity under that name, does include, as we have seen, the right to name, the right to nationality and the law on the protection of the family. In this Regard, Cf. Inter-American Juridical. Committee, Opinion "on the scope of the right to identity", resolution CJI / doc. 276/07 rev. 1,August 10, 2007, paras. 11.2 and 18.3.3, ratified by resolution CJI/RES.137 (LXXIO/07) of August 10, 2010. 134 Cf.
