    Inter-American Court Condemns Argentina Over Excessive Criminal Process Duration

    The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled against Argentina in the 'López de Belva and others vs. Argentina' case, finding the country responsible for violating judicial guarantees due to an excessively long criminal process. The case involved two lawyers, Carlos Alberto López de Belva and Arturo Jorge Podestá, who were initially sentenced in 1993 but saw their case drag on for over 15 years.
