General Assembly of the OAS from 2001 up to 2008 (in the corresponding documents of the Assemblies of San Jose, Costa Rica in 2001, of Bridgetown/Barbados in 2002, of Santiago, Chile in 2003, of Quito in 2004, as well as those of the following Assemblies of 2005-2006120 and 2007-2008). The aforementioned Report gives hope that the jus standi of individuals directly before the Inter-American Court may be reached in the future. 3. The Right to a Fair Trial as an Imperative of the Jus Cogens. 144. I finally move on to the last aspect of my final reflections in the present Concurring Opinion, regarding the right to a fair trial as an imperative of the jus cogens. Three years ago, in my Curso General de Derecho Internacional Público, offered in the Academy of International Law of The Hague in 2005, I characterized the doctrinal and jurisprudential construction of the international jus cogens as characteristic of a new jus gentium, International Law for Humanity. I also held that, in this understanding, and according to its definition, the international jus cogens goes beyond treaties law, extending to the law on the State’s international responsibility, and to the entire corpus juris of Contemporary International law, and including, finally, all juridical acts. By covering all International Law, it also projects itself on domestic law, invalidating any measure or act not compatible with it. The jus cogens has a direct effect on the foundations themselves of a Universal International Law and it is a basic pillar of the new jus gentium.121 145. It is not my objective here to reiterate the extensive considerations I developed in my mentioned Curso General at the Academy of La Haya, but instead complement them with an additional aspect, of great importance, which must not go by unnoticed: that of the expansion of the material content of the jus cogens, to which I have dedicated myself with complete conviction, in the recent jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court. In effect, during my more than twelve years as a Full Judge of the Inter-American Court, the latter (followed by the International Criminal Court ad hoc for the former Yugoslavia), has been the contemporary tribunal that has contributed the most in the conceptual evolution of the jus cogens, in the faithful exercise of its duties of protection of human beings, even when it is in situations of complete adversity or vulnerability. 146. More than twelve years ago, I warned about the need of a jurisprudential development of the prohibitions of the jus cogens, in my Concurring Opinions in the case of Blake versus Guatemala (preliminary objections, Judgment of 07.02.1996;122 merits, demonstration of consent, following the ratification of the Convention. .
