The UN human rights agenda has reached the mature age of 70 years
and many UN mechanisms created to implement this agenda are
themselves in their middle-age, yet human rights violations are
still a daily occurrence around the globe. The scorecard of the UN
human rights mechanisms appears impressive in terms of the
promotion, spreading of education and engaging States in a dialogue
to promote human rights, but when it comes to holding governments
to account for violations of these rights, the picture is much more
dismal. This book examines the effectiveness of UN mechanisms and
suggests measures to reform them in order to create a system that
is robust and fit to serve the 21st century. This book casts a
critical eye on the rationale and effectiveness of each of the
major UN human rights mechanisms, including the Human Rights
Council, the human rights treaty bodies, the UN High Commissioner
for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteurs and other
Charter-based bodies. Surya P. Subedi argues most of the UN human
rights mechanisms have remained toothless entities and proposes
measures to reform and strengthen it by depoliticising the workings
of UN human rights mechanisms and judicialising human rights at the
international level.
