WOLA and the Quest for Human Rights in Latin America

Insights on Justice and Corruption from the Washington Office on Latin America

Washington Office on Latin America

Founded in 1974 by a group of civil society and religious leaders with the goals of promoting respect for human rights,

democracy and social and economic justice as principal elements of U.S. policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean,

the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) encourages dialogue between governmental and nongovernmental actors,

monitors policies and programs of governments and international organizations, and promotes alternative solutions through reporting,

education, training and advocacy.

The Rule of Law Resource Center welcomes WOLA as a partner in our quest to establish the rule of law and respect for human rights.

We are pleased to offer the following articles from WOLA’s experts:
