Spoltore v. Argentina

This case is about a worker who sued the private company where he was employed, alleging his health had been prejudiced due to poor working conditions. In an unusually split vote, the Court found the State in violation of Article 26 of the American Convention for the failure to provide the victim adequate judicial recourse to challenge his work conditions, and Article 8 for the failure of State courts to consider the victim’s case within a reasonable time.
