Abstract
In recent years individuals, non-governmental organizations (NGO), legal clinics, protest groups, and other non-state actors successfully managed to influence international human rights forums, which have otherwise remained the sole realm of nation states. Non-state actors have successfully represented civic society in the pursuit of social justice in international human rights forums such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. They continue to push international human rights in strategic ways to challenge various forms of nationalist and transnational discrimination. The 2012 LatCrit South-North Exchange on Theory, Culture, and Law (SNX) sought to create a forum anchored on the experiences of the global South to examine, compare, and contrast cases that exemplify the these debates.
