RESUMO

The article begins by 1) presenting the reader to some generalities concerning the equality test (the concept of formal equality and substantive equality in terms of antisubordination and the perspectives of redistribution and recognition). It then reviews decisions from a number of Latin American countries ' high courts as well as others rendered by the Inter American Commission on Human Rights (I/A CHR) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IA Court HR) related to discrimination based on nationality, age, disability, and sexual orientation. The analysis of the cases shall contribute to determine the concept of equality that prevails in each decision (as evidenced in the grounds provided by the judge as well as in the remedies awarded). Finally we attempt to draw some conclusions over the prevailing trend in the region concerning equality.
