Equality is without any doubt one of the central principles of
human rights law. Non-discrimination and equality feature
prominently in most of the UN core human rights treaties. But do
the human rights treaty bodies understand these principles by and
large in a similar way? Do they recognize the same grounds of
discrimination? Have largely similar obligations been derived from
the principles of equality and non-discrimination? How is
gender-based discrimination treated? These and many other questions
are addressed in this work. For the first time, all UN Committees
decisions on non-discrimination and equality general
comments/recommendations, concluding comments/observations, as well
as views/opinions in individual complaints procedures are
comprehensively and comparatively reviewed. Each Committee is
thoroughly examined. Also, convergence and divergence, communality
and particularity among the Committees is scrutinized. This book
may be useful for scholars and practioners who need detailed
information on how non-discrimination and equality are interpreted
by the UN human rights treaty bodies. Decision-makers in the
current reform process of the UN human rights reporting procedure
too may benefit from the insights gained in this book. Wouter
Vandenhole holds an LL.M. in Law in Development from the University
of Warwick (UK) and a PhD. from the K.U.Leuven (Belgium). He was a
senior teaching assistant at the European Master s Degree in Human
Rights and Democratisation (Venice, Italy), and a researcher at the
Institute for Human Rights of the Law Faculty of the K.U.Leuven. He

Legal Development of Tilburg University (The Netherlands).
