[WASHINGTON, 26 February 2007] – The Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR) has announced that an audio broadcast of the public hearings of the 127th regular period of sessions will be available on its webpage, and that some of the hearings will be broadcast through the OAS webpage.

The audio of all the public hearings that will take place on March 1, 2, 6 and 7 will be available on the webpage of the IACHR (www.cidh.org) for a limited time. The list of all the hearings of the 127th period of sessions is available here. In addition, as part of a pilot project, some of the hearings will be webcast live on the webpage of the OAS (www.oas.org).

This is the first time that the IACHR will use this technology. The goal the Commission pursues with this innovation is to deepen the transparency of its processes and broaden access to the information it generates.
