Ivcher Bronstein Case (Baruch Ivcher Bronstein v. Peru)
Inter-American Court of Human Rights
Inter-Am. Ct. H.R. (ser. C.) No. 5 (1999)
- Written by Kyli Cotten, JD
Facts
In 1978, Peru (defendant) was one of several states that consented to the contentious jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (the court) when Peru ratified the American Convention on Human Rights (the convention). In March 1999, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights submitted an application for the case between Baruch Ivcher Bronstein (plaintiff) and Peru to the court for review. The court forwarded the application to Peru and advised that Peru had one month to appoint an agent, two months to file preliminary objections, and four months to answer the application. Peru initially appointed an agent and designated an address to which the court could direct communications. However, in July 1999, the court received notice that Peru’s legislature had approved the withdrawal of Peru’s consent to the court’s contentious jurisdiction.
