BARON SOTO, Marcela  and  GOMEZ VELASQUEZ, Alejandro. An approach to the state responsibility by an omission in the inter-american court of human rights jurisprudence. rev.ces derecho [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.1, pp.3-17. ISSN 2145-7719.

This paper will analyze the jurisprudential development and doctrine of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in relation to the international responsibility of the state, focusing on the cases where the liability was held because of an omission imputable to the state. The analysis will be done from its pronouncements under its contentious functions, seeking to identify the main lines of argument and the most representative cases. The jurisprudential search is not going to be exhaustive, but illustrative of the major developments of the idea of state responsibility based on an omission of the state
