A sustainably developing world that strives to simultaneously achieve environmental protection, economic development and social development will depend upon more effective and responsive systems for protecting human rights. The author will review his experience in a pair of significant human rights cases in the InterAmerican system and will focus on problems of justice delayed, as a lack of respect of human rights. One case involves the torture of Chilean Air Force officials by leaders of the coup against President Salvador Allende and the other involves marriage equality that also rises from Chile. A detailed analysis will be carried out and proper conclusions will be drawn.
