Rodrigo Mudrovitsch: We perceive a strong disenchantment with human rights among young people'

"Rodrigo Mudrovitsch, 41, is the second-youngest jurist to preside over the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). In January, he began a two-year term at the highest court of the Inter-American justice system, at one of the most politically turbulent periods in recent memory. However, he has unwavering faith in the court's strength and in the fresh energy that younger leadership can bring to modernizing an institution that feels abstract to many."

"I think so. It is very important to have more experienced colleagues on the court, such as Judge [Ricardo C.] Perez Manrique, with his extensive career in his country, or Judge Alberto Borea Odria, who has a history of working in different branches of government. But I believe that youth also has its value, so that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights can reach out to younger generations."

Rodrigo Mudrovitsch, 41, is the second-youngest jurist to preside over the Inter‑American Court of Human Rights and began a two‑year term in January amid intense political turbulence. He expresses strong confidence in the court's resilience and in the energizing effect of younger leadership for institutional modernization. His three main priorities are climate action, closer engagement between the court and citizens—especially young people—and expediting protective measures and procedures. He will preside alongside vice president Patricia Perez Goldenberg. Mudrovitsch holds a doctorate in law, specializes in constitutional and public law, and has contributed to landmark rulings on Indigenous rights, inviolability of the home, and freedom of expression.
