The seminar is the main outcome of the participation of civil society organizations from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and El Salvador in a thematic hearing at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in June this year, in which these bodies deliberated on diagnoses, concerns and complaints about the process of criminal justice online, which has taken on different characteristics in each Latin American country.
