Resumen
ACOSTA-LOPEZ, Juana Inés y AMAYA-VILLARREAL, Álvaro Francisco. International Responsibility of States and the Duty of Custody: international Standards Applicable to Detention Centers. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.2, pp.301-326. ISSN 0124-0579.
This paper explores the scope of the standards that the International Human Rights System, particularly the Interamerican System, has developed in connection with the duty of custody, regarding persons who are deprived of their liberty. The authors approach the particular nature of the State's international responsibility on this subject, the scope of the State's responsibility regarding vulnerable populations within the penitentiary establishments, as well as the demands made to the State in order to adapt the penitentiary system in general, in order to guarantee the inmate's human rights.
Palabras clave : Interamerican Human Right's System; Interamerican Court of Human Rights; duty of custody; human rights and persons deprived of their liberty.
