As the Inter-American Court of Human Rights holds its 44th Extraordinary Session in Barbados from October 10 to 14, it will hear arguments in the case of Fornerón v. Argentina (paternal consent in adoption proceedings) and host a seminar and roundtable discussion focused on Caribbean engagement with the Inter-American System. This session marks the first time the Court has convened in an English-speaking Caribbean country and presents an opportunity for participants and observers to understand the Court’s work in areas other than the death penalty, which has historically been the focus of cases brought against English-speaking Caribbean States.
