In this book, John P. Pace provides the most complete account to-date of the United
Nations human rights programme, both in substance and in chronological breadth. Pace
worked at the heart of this programme for over thirty years, including as the Secretary
of the Commission on Human Rights, and Coordinator of the World Conference on Human
Rights, which took place in Vienna in 1993. 0He traces the issues taken up by the
Commission after its launch in 1946, and the methods undertaken to enhance absorption
and domestication of international human rights standards. He lays out the special
procedures carried out by the UN, and the emergence of international human rights
law. The book then turns to the establishment of the Office of the High Commissioner
for Human Rights and the mainstreaming of human rights across the United Nations system,
eventually leading to the establishment of the Human Rights Council to replace the
Commission in 2006. 0Many of the problems we face today, including conflict, poverty,
and environmental issues, have their roots in human rights problems. This book identifies
what has been done at the international level in the past, and points towards what
still needs to be done for the future
