CONCURRING AND PARTIALLY DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE HUMBERTO ANTONIO SIERRA PORTO INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS CASE OF GUEVARA DÍAZ V. COSTA RICA JUDGMENT OF JUNE 22, 2022 (Merits, reparations and costs) 1. With all due respect for the decisions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (hereinafter "the Court"), the purpose of this opinion is to offer a partial dissent regarding operative paragraph 2 of the judgment. That paragraph declares the State of Costa Rica internationally responsible for violating the rights to equal protection and to work, read in conjunction with the prohibition on discrimination, to the detriment of Mr. Luis Fernando Guevara Díaz. For these purposes, I will address (i) the relevance of the analysis of the right to work as an autonomous right in this case; and (ii) the new change in the modality for declaring violations in operative paragraphs. 2. This opinion is complementary to the stance already expressed in my partially dissenting opinions in the cases of Lagos del Campo v. Peru,1 Dismissed Employees of Petroperú et al. v. Peru,2 San Miguel Sosa et al. v. Venezuela,3 Muelle Flores v. Peru4, Hernández v. Argentina,5 ANCEJUB-SUNAT v. Peru,6 Indigenous Communities of the Lhaka Honhat (Our Land) Association v.
