CONCURRING OPINION OF JUDGE SERGIO GARCÍA RAMÍREZ
TO THE JUDGMENT BY THE
INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
ON THE CASE OF BLANCO-ROMERO ET AL V. VENEZUELA
OF NOVEMBER 28, 2005
In the instant case, the Inter-American Court examined, among other issues, the duty
of the State to adapt its legislation to the Inter-American Convention on Forced
Disappearance of Persons, of June 9, 1994. Such adaptation relates to the description
in Article II of the aforementioned instrument on forced disappearance that should
orient the wording of the criminal description in domestic law.
Since I have discussed the matter at some length in my Concurrent Opinion to the
Judgment the Court has already rendered in the Case of Gómez Palomino v. Perú, of
November 22, 2005, I refer to the considerations I put forth in such previous Opinion.
