Text of Note

"Every state in the world has undertaken human rights obligations on the basis of UN treaties. The six treaty bodies that monitor and evaluate state policies and practices play a vital role, but the whole system has been stretched almost to breaking point." "This volume contains detailed analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of the system, written by many leading participants in the work of the treaty bodies. Their recommendations provide a blueprint for far-reaching reform of a system of major importance for the future of international efforts to protect human rights."--Jacket.
