American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man

The American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, also known as the Bogota Declaration, was the world's first international human rights instrument of a general nature, predating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by less than a year. Although a declaration is not, strictly speaking, a legally binding treaty, the jurisprudence of both the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has established that the Declaration gives rise to binding international obligations for OAS member states.
