Taking Human Rights Complaints to UN Mechanisms: A Manual
Send
Aiming to provide a guide to taking human rights complaints to UN mechanisms, this manual provides an update to KHRP’s 2003 edition of Taking Human Rights Complaints to UN Mechanisms . The UN aims to achieve the promotion and encouragement of respect for human rights through three categories of human rights bodies: the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, those established by the UN Charter (Charter-based bodies) and those established by provisions in specific legal instruments (treaty-based bodies). Written by Kerim Yildiz, Executive Director, and Lucy Claridge, Legal Officer, the manual provides an overview of the different mechanisms and guides to their use. In addition, the manual also includes updated versions of key texts, such as texts of the reservations and declarations entered into by member states in the Kurdish regions, model complaint forms and guidelines for the submission of complaints.
