The article values the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man and the American Convention on Human Rights as the political, legal and institutional basis on which the Inter-American Human Rights System rests, which has served as a guide to American law in evolution from greater interaction between the national and international levels. It points out the problem of the lack of compliance and total execution of the judgments of the Inter-American Court as one of the current challenges of the Inter-American System. To do so, it visualizes opportunities in the process of reform initiated at the European level, such as strengthening shared responsibility to overcome the problems of effectiveness in compliance with judgments, adopting a subsidiarity mechanism that allows States to have a certain amount of freedom in adopt measures of reparation that adjust to national realities, as well as strengthen the national capacity to execute sentences with the issuance of specific laws.
