In 2021, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) decided two cases for advancing the increasing jurisprudence on the implementation of human rights and business standards, yet there is still a gap to fill. Despite the important development with regards to the State obligation to supervise business operations, the decisions do not introduce further definitions of companies’ responsibilities on human rights nor the potential of creating mandatory remedies standards for private agents. Through the analysis of the 2021 case law, this article concludes that the IACtHR has been increasingly using the UN Guiding Principles to argue for its rulings but has missed the opportunity to generate greater accountability for companies and private actors in its decision-making.

En la Latinoamérica contemporánea, el significado asimétrico otorgado a las dimensiones de la democracia por los regímenes de cada país, configura la implementación de políticas públicas que se expresan en el amparo o vulneración de los Derechos Fundamentales y Sociales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una aproximación al estado de los Derechos Fundamentales y Sociales, desde la perspectiva de Dahl (2009) sobre los niveles de democracia identificables en los regímenes latinoamericanos 2017-2019. Enesencia, el diseño y aplicación que se socializa es de una metodología de revisión y análisis documental. En ese contexto, el continente latinoamericano transita por una etapa de desarrollo asimétrico de los procesos democráticos observándose polarizaciones, desde Estados con altos niveles de democracia como Uruguay, Costa Rica y Chile, hasta Estados autoritarios como Nicaragua, Venezuela y Cuba. El estudio encontró que las estructuras ideacionales de los regímenes dominantes, configuran teleologías propias de la Presidencia y su entorno, que inciden sobre las dimensiones e indicadores de la democracia, y, en el ejercicio de los derechos Fundamentales y Sociales. Concluye que la modalidad de regímenes configura niveles de democratización que se expresan en el amparo o vulneración de Derechos Fundamentales y Sociales. En el caso de los autoritarismos se observa la replicación de estrategias institucionales de minimización en el ejercicio de derechos políticos de hecho, fundamentado en estructuras ideacionalesque permean los valores democráticos y tergiversan las dimensiones e indicadores de la democracia.
