International Observatory of Human Rights in Nicaragua
The International Observatory of Human Rights in Nicaragua was created and led by a group of civil society organizations in the country in collaboration with international and state organizations, with the aim of overcoming blockages in the dialogue between civil society and the Nicaraguan government, in the context of the conflict around the protests and violent police repressions that took place in 2018 and 2019. The organizations in charge of this space denounce the elimination of various monitoring instances, which is why they seek to independently continue with the registration of victims and following up on potential illegitimate actions by the government, in the face of the continuity of social conflict and violence.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
