In Defense of Politicization of Human Rights: The UN Special
Procedures constitutes the first comprehensive study of the United
Nations Special Procedures, covering their history, methods of
work, institutional status, relationship with other politically
driven organs, and processes affecting their development. Special
Procedures have existed since 1967, nearly as long as United
Nations Treaty Bodies, but have received only fragmented analysis,
normally focused on a few thematic mandates, until the creation of
the Human Rights Council in 2006. In seeking to debunk commonly
held views about the role of politics in human rights at
international level, In Defense of Politicization of Human Rights
constitutes the first comprehensive study of the United Nations
Special Procedures as a system covering their history, methods of
work, institutional status, relationship with other politically
driven organs, and processes affecting their development. The
perspective chosen to analyze the human rights mechanisms most
vulnerable to political decisions determining their creation,
renewal and operationalization, casts a new light on the extent to
which these remain the cornerstone of global accountability in
protecting the inherent dignity and worth of individuals as well as
groups. International human rights mechanisms' efficiency is
normally linked to the work of independent experts keen to push the
boundaries of accountability against recalcitrant States determined
to defend their sovereignty. As a corollary, progress in this field
is associated to the creation and maintenance of political free
spaces. Another common presumption is a belief in a differentiated
'North' versus 'South' approach to the promotion and protection of
human rights, that find common ground within the prevalent human
rights discourses repeated by governmental and non-governmental
actors. Through the lenses of the United Nations Special
Procedures, In Defense of Politicization of Human Rights challenges
these and other presumptions informing doctrinal studies, policies
and strategies to advance international human rights. Because of
the Special Procedures' growing salience and impact in the world of
international human rights, this book is likely to become required
reading for any student or practitioner of international human
rights.
