On October 8, 2015, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Court) published a decision [3] (only available in Spanish) it had made last month, holding Chile responsible for violation of the right to judicial protection in Article 25 of the Inter-American Convention of Human Rights [4]. According to the Court, Chile failed to annul criminal convictions which were based on proceedings that had included evidence and confessions obtained under torture during the military dictatorship. The Court also found Chile responsible for the twelve-year delay in investigating the torture incidents after having first learned about them in 2001 when the victims filed petitions to have their sentences reviewed. The Court noted that Chile had failed to provide an adequate and effective manner for review both before and after the 2005 constitutional reform, which allowed the Supreme Court of Chile to hear cases related to the dictatorship’s tribunals.
