Opis

Since its inception, the Human Rights Committee has arguably become the most important independent international human rights body in the world. Vested with wide-ranging power, the Committee has developed a large body of case-law to complement the activities of other United Nations organizations. This in-depth study examines the institutional characteristics of the Committee, traces the development of its practices and procedures, and discusses its jurisprudence under selected key articles of the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
