内容説明

Recent events have thrust human rights into the world spotlight. They have now become "a dominant concern" of international discourses. The pre-eminent human rights challenge for the 1990s is to provide effective procedures and mechanisms both for sustained monitoring and for rapid and constructive responses to violations. Over the past 20 years the United Nations human rights regime has developed very rapidly. Various new treaties have entered into force and many new procedures and monitoring bodies have been created. The complexity of the system is now such that even specialists are sometimes lost in the resulting maze. The time is thus ripe for evaluation, streamlining, and further development of the regime. The essays collected in this volume examine critically the functions, procedures and performance of each of the major UN organs dealing with human rights. They also look at the relationship between the various organs and the potential for major reforms and restructuring.
