Opis

The UN human rights agenda has reached the mature age of 70 years and many UN mechanisms created to implement this agenda are themselves in their middle-age, yet human rights violations are still a daily occurrence around the globe. This book casts a critical eye on the rationale and effectiveness of each of the major UN human rights mechanisms arguing that most of them have remained toothless entities. It proposes measures to reform and strengthen the UN system by depoliticising the workings of UN human rights mechanisms and judicialising human rights at the international level, in order to create a system that is robust and fit to serve the 21st century.
