Synopsis

Human rights remain a dominant and ever-present concern of the international community in the 1990s. The United Nations is the central focus of these concerns, and this book examines the functions, procedures, and performance of each of the major UN bodies dealing with human rights. It looks at the relationship between the various organs and - with the 50th anniversary of the United Nations and its Charter falling in 1995 - the success of each organ and the potential for major reforms and restructuring. This book should be of interest to: scholars and postgraduate students of international law; international relations; and human rights law; human rights activists and political scientists; diplomats; lawyers; and government representatives attached to human rights organizations.
