A GREAT VICTORY IN LATIN AMERICA
According to Lawyers Without Borders Canada – On June 28, 2021, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights found Honduras responsible for the death of a trans woman and demands that she pay reparations to her family. Young Honduran Vicky Hernandez was killed in the middle of the street on the first night of the 2009 coup, when only law enforcement was allowed to roam the streets. Faced with the lack of a formal investigation, his death has become an emblematic case in the fight against impunity.
This is the first time that the Court has dealt with the extrajudicial execution of a person belonging to the LGBTI community. The first time that a state member of the Court has been questioned for violence perpetrated against the LGBTI community. The decision in Vicky’s case is a turning point in the jurisprudence surrounding the discrimination she and her peers have endured and endured in Latin America. A decision that not only encourages the Honduran state to implement the necessary measures to guarantee the rights of LGBTI people, but all neighboring states.
