36 perceived. * * * 129. The representatives have also stated that the alleged situation of a generalized provisional nature and the consideration of the judges as officials of a free appointment and removal “has implied hundreds of summary dismissals, many of which obey clear political and economical nuances.” 130. In this sense, the Tribunal points out that the facts of the present case do not prove that Mrs. Reverón Trujillo was dismissed in a summary manner due to political and economic interests.158 Therefore, the Tribunal considers that it is not appropriate to analyze those arguments.

To this last argument of the state the representatives responded, inter alia, that the publications made within the framework of the PET did not establish that the judges who had been dismissed or that were part of a group different to those summoned could participate in that process. 134. The Inter-American Commission did not argue the violation of Article 23 in the present case.

Case of Genie Lacayo v. Nicaragua. Preliminary Objections. Judgment of January 27, 1995.
