On Wednesday, September 15, 2021,
the Chair of the Inter-American

the Permanent Council a summary of the documents
prepared by the CJI this year, which,
with the exception of the last, stem from
General Assembly mandates.

Recommendations of the
Inter-American Juridical Committee for the
approval of domestic legislation on the
regulation of fireworks and pyrotechnic
articles in the Americas,
document
CJI/doc.646/21 rev. 3. As the title
suggests, this document contains
recommendations that propose a guiding
principle of non-regression in relation to
both the implementation of, and respect for,
sanctions, extending their scope of
application to a broad spectrum that
includes manufacture, storage,
transportation, purchase, sale, use or
handling, import, and export.

economic resilience in the region in the
context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its
subsequent effects: proposal by the
Inter-American Juridical Committee,
document
CJI/doc.651/21 rev. 2. This report sets out
the need to establish a specific legal
framework with policy and operational
guidelines on decision-making, through
concrete measures to serve as a frame of
reference for similar situations in the
future, which would be conveyed to the
Summit of the Americas in order to
facilitate regional collective action.
-
Updated Principles of the
inter-American Juridical Committee on
Privacy and Protection of Personal Data,
document CJI/doc.638/21. These principles
are expected to provide greater transparency
in the processing of personal data, as well
as accountability on the part of controllers
and managers of those who handle such
information, promoting the security of
sensitive data and the empowerment of
citizens.
-
Declaration of the
Inter-American Juridical Committee on
neuroscience, neurotechnologies and human
rights: new legal challenges for the
Americas,
Declaration CJI/DEC. 01. The
Declaration introduces the topic in the
Organization. It covers five particular
aspects and calls for the participation of
States, the private sector, academia, and
the scientific world in the discussion.
In his remarks, the Chair thanked the States for
their participation in the Eighth Joint Meeting
with the Legal Advisors of the Ministries of
Foreign Affairs. The next joint meeting is
scheduled to take place in 2023.
The Permanent Representatives of Chile, Mexico,

appreciation for the reports of the CJI, which
will be submitted to the General Assembly for
consideration, and they urged it to continue
holding courses on international law, including
training in the area of cyberspace.

jurists, who are nationals of member states and
elected for a term of four years.
