Tuesday started meeting with Adolfo Jarquin Ortel, the Director of the Human Rights Commission, Procuraduria Para Defensa de los Derechos Humanos. The Human Rights Commission is a government fund institution established to protect the rights of Nicaraguan citizens. Concerns infringing on human rights in Nicaragua include social, political, and economic issues.
The Human Rights Commission will be closely watching the upcoming elections using national and international supervisors. They are working to ensure citizens are not denied the right to vote by helping them gather the appropriate documentation (including a birth certificate which not all citizens have) to obtain their voting card. Another issue is ensuring that the justice system is fairly applied to any citizen appearing in court and done in a timely manner.
