to the UN Committee against Torture, UN Human Rights Committee and European Court in this regard. Conclusion 3 The Inter-american Regional System The Inter-American Court and Commission have arguably shown the greatest bravery of the international bodies, with a willingness to expand not only the definitions of torture and ill-treatment and the scope of State obligations, but also their own jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Court has ordered a wider range of reparations than its international and regional counterparts, considering not only the damage done to the direct and indirect victims of torture, but also the need for societies to remember what has been done in their name, through the erection of monuments, the naming of streets, and the introduction of items on school curricula. Given the recent history of a number of South American countries, such a wide-ranging approach is perhaps to be expected. However, this makes it no less welcome. 123
