started this petition to
Los Estados Miembros de la Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA), Member-states of the Organization of American States (OAS)
Human rights are still being violated in the Americas today. And when countries fail to defend their own citizens, the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights stand up to defend their rights. The Inter-American Human Rights System (IAS) is the last hope for justice for millions of people in the region.

But recently various Members of the Organization of American States (OAS) have attempted to weaken the Inter-American System through a reform process which will be defined in the coming months.

We must act now to defend those who defend us. Hundreds of people committed to human rights, including numerous celebrities, have already signed a declaration defending the Inter-American System. Add your name to the petition and speak up for human rights!

Sign this petition to show your support for human rights in the Americas!
