Los Principios de París y las instituciones nacionales de derechos humanos en América Latina
Paris Principles and National Human Rights Institutions in Latin America
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los Principios de París proveen los parámetros a través los cuales se miden las instituciones nacionales de derechos humanos, en el importante proceso de acreditación que administra la red internacional que hoy las agrupa. Por su origen, dichos principios privilegian como modelo institucional a la comisión de derechos humanos sobre el ombudsman y el instituto de derechos humanos, y se centran en la creación de estas instituciones, más que en su posterior funcionamiento. Estos dos aspectos constituyen una limitante de dichos principios. Aun cuando el primero de estos problemas ha sido superado en la práctica, el segundo se mantiene plenamente vigente, por lo que sería conveniente identificar criterios de eficiencia que vayan más allá del diseño institucional y orienten a las instituciones nacionales de derechos humanos en el cumplimiento efectivo de sus funciones. En el caso de América Latina, es esencial velar por la integración de estas instituciones para el logro de dicho objetivo. Solo contando con un personal adecuado pueden estas persuadir e influir no solo a los órganos estatales, sino también a la sociedad civil, promoviendo y protegiendo así los derechos humanos de todos.
