This article analyzes the jurisdictional variants in which the Inter-American Court of Human Rights exercises its attributions: consultative, contentious, preventive and executive. Moreover it mentions the criteria sustained by this Tribunal in respect to the different extremes of its competence as reflected in the American Convention on Human Rights. Finally, the article incorporates some reflections about the future of the Inter-American System of Human Rights, considering its evolution, the actual situation and the divers problems referred to the consolidation of the respect to human rights, the universality and the reception of them in the internal order.
