Abstract

This study examines the work of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Nicaragua between 1978 and 1992. It postulates that the Commission, while effective during the periods of transition or revolution, can be easily ignored by a government with a firm hold on power. It uses commission reports to illusrate the violations of human rights that occurred during the Somoza regime and the Sandinista government.
