Protocol of San Salvador

What is the Protocol of San
Salvador?
Additional Protocol to the
American Convention on Human
Rights in the Area of Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights “Protocol
of San Salvador” (PSS)
PSS follow-up mechanism
• National reports submitted by States Parties
(article 19): 2014-2015 first round
• Set of progress indicators approved by
member states (2 groups)
• Working Group to examine and analyze
national reports by States Parties (SP)
PSS indicators
• First group of rights: rights to social security,
to health, and education
• Second group: rights to work and trade union
rights, rights to a healthy environment,
adequate food, and the benefits of culture
PSS indicators provide SP:
• Useful tools to review the status of the rights,
identify outstanding issues and agendas based on
a participatory dialogue with civil society
• Devise strategies for the progressive realization of
the rights
• Tools to undertake a process of evaluating and
measuring fulfillment of social rights that goes
beyond mere reporting (not intended to record
complaints but progress)
PSS indicators
Model composed of quantitative indicators and
qualitative signs of progress.
3 types of indicators (structural, process, and outcome),
arranged into three conceptual categories: (i)
incorporation of the right; (ii) financial context and
budgetary commitment; (iii) and state capabilities
3 cross- cutting principles: a) equality and
nondiscrimination, b) access to justice, and c) access to
information and participation)
PSS indicators are not development
indicators
• Objective and scope of PSS rights indicators distinguish
them from traditional indicators that measure variations in
levels of development in a particular country or region.
• “human rights indicators are specific information on the
state of an event, activity or an outcome that can be
related to human rights norms and standards; that address
and reflect the human rights concerns and principles; and
that are used to assess and monitor promotion and
protection of human rights.” [Paul Hunt, Special
Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on the
right of everyone to enjoy the highest attainable standard
of physical and mental health, Resolution 2003/45
A/58/427, 2006:4.]
