● Affected rights: one of the key indicators reflected in sentences and merits reports which is shown in the case. To show this last indicator, the cases include a textual reference to the articles of the American Convention of Human Rights that have (or have not) been violated according to the sentence or the merits report. The vast majority of cases refer to articles of the American Convention on Human Rights, but others refer to the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man; the Additional Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights in the Area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Protocol of San Salvador); the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture; the InterAmerican Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons; and the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence Against Women (Convention of Belém Do Pará). The collection of articles of international instruments violated according to judgements and merit reports is basic for this system. This happens because queries guided by these criteria are frequent, but also because this reference allows operationalizing concepts that look abstract at first sight. Human rights are settled on international protection mechanisms and judicial processes refer to these mechanisms. When it comes to facilitating case law accessibility, it is very effective to extract this information from every judicial decision and point it out within the case. What kind of questions can be answered with the database? Combining filters, it is possible to perform queries as the following (the underscore indicates the filters used for each query): ● Number of open cases (case status) in Perú (country) presented to the Commission between 2000 and 2005 (date range). ● Countries with more cases in which the Article 5.1 of the American Convention (Every person has the right to have his physical, mental, and moral integrity respected) has been violated according to the Court judgements. ● Provisory measures linked to indigenous peoples (descriptor). 5
