"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 [critiques] 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. [The author] 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."
