- Abstract
The article focuses on the on-site investigation conducted by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in Bolivia due to the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS). The council requested an investigation due to its belief that the military coup suspended the process of democratic institutionalization within the country. Based on the investigation, the Commission reported sixteen instances of murder, restrictions in communications media, the usurpation of junta on the authority of the executive, legislative, and judicial arms of government, and the resistance to the new regime. The group concluded that the junta has committed serious violations in the humane treatment, personal liberty, and other rights guaranteed by the American Convention on Human Rights.
