On Friday, March 20th 2009, Human Rights USA, in collaboration with the Center for Constitutional Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union, gave a presentation to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights during the thematic hearing on the topic of accountability for major human rights abuses committed by U.S. Government officials during the 'war on terror.'

The purpose of the hearing was to provide the Commission with information regarding the types of accountability measures that the Obama administration must take in order to comply with its international human rights obligations, under the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and international law, to investigate, prosecute, and punish international crimes.
