Description and Table of Contents
Description
This landmark study envisions a wide-ranging number of international human rights reforms, most of which can be accomplished without formal amendment to the UN international human rights treatty system. The recommendations generally assume a six treaty body regime, and focus primarily on offering concrete suggestions for improvements in working methods of the treaty bodies and procedures at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
