Alberto Borea Odria officially assumed office as judge of the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) for the 2025-2030 term, during a ceremony held in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Previously, the Peruvian jurist took the oath of office in front of IACtHR Chair, Judge Nancy Hernandez.

Similarly, it expressed confidence that he will perform duties in accordance with the
American Convention on Human Rights, while highlighting that he will raise the name of Peru high.
During the 54th OAS General Assembly, held in Paraguay last year, Borea was elected as judge for the 2025-2030 term.
