Plataforma CIPÓ celebrates the candidacy of Professor Fábio de Sá e Silva for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and encourages the Brazilian government to actively support his election. At a time of attacks on democracy and human rights across the continent, it is crucial for the IACHR to continue operating independently and effectively.
With a strong academic background and experience in the public sector, Fábio de Sá e Silva has distinguished himself in the fields of social justice and democratic governance. His election would mark significant progress in defending these issues, including the recognition of the right to a healthy environment as a fundamental human right.
CIPÓ reaffirms its commitment to a robust Inter-American system that effectively promotes human rights, strengthens democracy, and advances social justice for all peoples in the region.
