This case is about the disappearance of a human rights activist. The Court found the state in violation of several articles of the American Convention, Inter-American Convention to Prevent, Punish and Eradicate Violence Against Women and Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearances of Persons. However, it did not declare a violation of certain articles of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearances of Persons because it could not determine that Ms. Gutiérrez Hernández was actually a victim of a forced disappearance as defined in that Convention.
