American human rights advocate seeks IACHR seat to push Caribbean interest
KINGSTON, Jamaica - PEOPLE who know Professor James Cavallaro are not surprised that he's a candidate for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).
After all, Cavallaro, an American, has spent all of his adult life as a human rights advocate — from his days as a 21-year-old college graduate working with refugees at the US/Mexico border, to challenging abuses by the cruel Pinochet Government in Chile, to his active defence of rights issues in other countries in Central and South America that have made him one of the most sought-after experts in his field.
Of course, the fact that he's the founding director of Stanford Law School's International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic; founder of the Global Justice Centre, a leading Brazilian human rights non-governmental organisation; and has published several books in his extensive writings on human rights, have also served to not only bolster his credentials, but confirm his commitment to the ideal of natural justice.
