I will try to cover three different examples on issues in which the Inter-American and the European Courts have had different approaches, some substantive, some methodological, regarding the following issues:

1. 1. A substantive and radical difference in the approach of the right to appeal a criminal conviction;

2. 2. A substantive but slight difference in the approach of cases of involuntary or forced sterilization;

3. 3. An example of evolution from divergence to convergence in the subject of access to information; and

4. 4. A radical difference in the approach with respect to reparations.
