- Abstract
The article focuses on the human rights situation in Nicaragua under the government of President Anastasio Somoza Debayle as well as the government of the Sandinista revolutionaries. Under the government of Sandinistas revolutionaries, three principal institutions of government established by the provisional charter including a five-member junta, a fifty-one-member council of state, and a new system of courts. The government promulgated the Statute on the Rights and Guarantees of Nicaraguans to augment the provisional constitution on September 17, 1979. Based on the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights' reports, it concluded that the Sandinistas had taken measures to bring the government into compliance with both international and municipal human rights imperatives.
