The agreement is the result of the good relations between both institutions, in addition to the outstanding track record of the University in the field of human rights.

At the end of April 2023, during the 157 Period of Sessions in Chile of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Cooperation Agreement between the entity and the Diego Portales University was renewed.

Present at the ceremony were the President of the Inter-American Court, Ricardo C. Pérez Manrique; the Chilean judge, Patricia Pérez Goldberg; the secretary of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Pablo Saavedra (UDP graduate); the rector UDP, Carlos Peña; the dean of the UDP Law School, Jaime Couso; the director of the UDP Human Rights Center, Lidia Casas; United Nations Rapporteur on Migrants and UDP academic, Felipe González; and Daniela Inostroza, a graduate of the Faculty and an intern at the Inter-American Court.

In the instance, the President of the Court, Judge Ricardo C. Pérez Manrique, highlighted the long history of relations between the UDP and the Inter-American Human Rights System. “Former President Judge Cecilia Medina was an outstanding professor at the University, as was our secretary Pablo Saavedra Alessandri. Dozens of interns graduated from this house of studies have passed through our Court”, they spread on the social networks of the Inter-American Court.
