Synopsis

The Human Rights Committee is charged with the task of monitoring the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Since its inception it has arguably become the most important independent internatonal human rights body in the world. Through the consideration of State Reports, from over half of the world community, and the examination of communication submitted by individuals (under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant), the Human Rights Committee seeks to establish an universal human rights jurisprudence. This book analyzes the institutional characteristics of the Human Rights Committee, how it has developed its practices and prodecures under the Covenant and the Optional Protocol, and discusses the jurisprudence of the Committee under selected key articles of the Covenant.
