This paper first introduces the process of the humanization of international law and then analyses one specific aspect of this development: the humanization of consular law, with special reference to the Advisory Opinion No. 16 (1999) of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The paper focuses on three specific points: (1) Consular Law beyond the purely inter-State outlook; (2) the right to information on consular assistance in the framework of the guarantees of the due process of law and (3) the humanization of Consular Law in contemporary international practice.
