ZAFFARONI DOUBLES DOWN

Eugenio Raúl Zaffaroni, the former Supreme Court justice who now sits on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR, CIDH in its Spanish acronym), reiterated his wish this week that the Mauricio Macri presidency should end as soon as possible, thus prompting Justice Minister Germán Garavano to retort that Zaffaroni should leave the CIDH as soon as possible due to his “anti-democratic vision” which ends up discrediting the regional court. Yet there is no chance of removing Zaffaroni from the CIDH short of his voluntary resignation.
