The case Jessica Lenahan (ex-Gonzales), whose three girls were abducted and murdered by their husbands alienated by the local police refused to impose a moderating against him, and for the first time, the Tribunal recalled that in American countries, including the United States, perhaps responsible for the protection of victims of violence deprived part of the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man, of the doctrine of Rights human adopted in the year 1948. Lenahan’s $ 30 million action against the police division in the Castle Rock Colorado was amended by the Supreme Court in the year 2005. The court decided that Lenahan had no constitutional right to the provisional application of the police in their order, after the ACLU. The IACHR decided to hear the case in October 2007. “Jessica Lenahan was forced to conduct themselves on an international organization in the United States because the legal system did give him a lot of nudes of justice,” said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a lawyer for the ACLU Women’s Rights Project , after the Denver Post. “We hope that this measure will ensure that survivors of domestic violence in the country, and to which the Americans have every legal recourse is excluded when human rights are violated by their governments.” |
