Mission statement:	CEJIL´s mission is to contribute to the full enjoyment of human rights in the Americas through the effective use of the tools of the Inter-American System and other International Human Rights Law protection mechanisms. We envision a fully democratic hemisphere, where the rights of all are respected; a hemisphere where people live freely, without fear and want, as established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the preamble to the American Convention on Human Rights. We strive for a region with strong institutions grounded in the rule of law in order to ensure that, through an adequate legal framework, public policies and practices are in line with international human rights law. We seek to create a hemisphere where State protection is reinforced by a system of complementary regional protection which is prompt and effective in protecting the fundamental rights of individuals and peoples. CEJIL is a non-profit, non-governmental organization with consultative status before the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations, and observer status before the African Commission of Human Rights and Peoples.
