About this title

Synopsis

This book satisfies a pressing need for up-to-date information on the working methods of the six principal UN human rights treaty bodies: - The Human Rights Committee; - The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; - The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination; - The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women; - The Committee Against Torture; - The Committee on the Rights of the Child. Features include: - Clear explanations of reporting procedures and the role of NGOs; - Tables detailing States Party reporting obligations; - Presentation of the individual petition procedures; - The Substantive provisions of the treaties, with notes on the applicable general comments/recommendations; - Extensive bibliographies. The First Edition of this book appeared in 1996. This "Second Edition" is completely revised to take account of important developments since then in both law and practice. It explains new procedures such as the individual petition and investigative procedures of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. It also describes the many changes and improvements in the range of procedures for NGO involvement in the work of the treaty bodies.
