Business and Human Rights in the Inter-American System the Case of the Miskito Divers – ghrd

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has issued a judgment in Lemoth Morris et al. v. Honduras, focusing on the working conditions of Miskito divers, an indigenous people living along the Nicaragua-Honduras border. Miskito divers, who traditionally practice free diving, now use deep diving for lobster and shell catch, a practice that goes against labor legislation. The case involves 42 victims, including 34 who died from accidents, 7 from a boat fire, and a child. Honduras acknowledged its responsibility for violating their rights, including life, dignity, personal integrity, and child rights. The case is significant as it is the first time the Inter-American Court has addressed business responsibility concerning human rights.
