Download or read book Human Rights and the Universal Periodic Review written by Hilary Charlesworth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal Periodic Review is an intriguing and ambitious development in human rights monitoring which breaks new ground by engaging all 193 members of the United Nations. This book provides the first sustained analysis of the Review and explains how the Review functions within the architecture of the United Nations. It draws on socio-legal scholarship and the insights of human rights practitioners with direct experience of the Review in order to consider its regulatory power and its capacity to influence the behaviour of states. It also highlights the significance of the embodied features of the Review, with its cyclical and intricately managed interactive dialogues. Additionally, it discusses the rituals associated with the Review, examines the tendency of the Review towards hollow ritualism (which undermines its aspiration to address human rights violations comprehensively) and suggests how this ritualism might be overcome.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: High distinction (Note 1), University of New South Wales, Sydney (Faculty of Law), course: Human Rights, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the work, main functions and accountability of the United Nations Human Rights Council. The author examines historically the failures of the UN Human Rights Council's predecessor, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights by showing the Commission's problematic composition of membership and its reaction to serious human rights violations. The paper illustrates one of the Council's most important functions: The Universal Periodic Review mechanism (UPR). Ultimately, the author comes to the conclusion that the General Assembly of the United Nations made the right decision to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights with the UN Human Rights Council. This paper is a revised version of the original paper that was delivered to the University of New South Wales Sydney in September 2017. The course lecturer in Human Rights required that the original submission to the Faculty of Law should not exceed 800 words. The original article was graded with "High Distinction" (an outstanding performance). The lecturer commented: "This is a very good discussion of the set topic [and] of the failures of the Commission and its replacement by the Council." Besides the legal history, this paper also analyses the Council's work, functions and accountability.

Book Synopsis The United Nations Human Rights Council by : Rosa Freedman
Download or read book The United Nations Human Rights Council written by Rosa Freedman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations Human Rights Council was created in 2006 to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights. The Council’s mandate and founding principles demonstrate that one of the main aims, at its creation, was for the Council to overcome the Commission’s flaws. Despite the need to avoid repeating its predecessor's failings, the Council’s form, nature and many of its roles and functions are strikingly similar to those of the Commission. This book examines the creation and formative years of the United Nations Human Rights Council and assesses the extent to which the Council has fulfilled its mandate. International law and theories of international relations are used to examine the Council and its functions. Council sessions, procedures and mechanisms are analysed in-depth, with particular consideration given to whether the Council has become politicised to the same extent as the Commission. Whilst remaining aware of the key differences in their functions, Rosa Freedman compares the work of the Council to that of treaty-based human rights bodies. The author draws on observations from her attendance at Council proceedings in order to offer a unique account of how the body works in practice. The United Nations Human Rights Council will be of great interest to students and scholars of human rights law and international relations, as well as lawyers, NGOs and relevant government agencies.

Book Synopsis Recommendations for Embedding Economic and Social Rights in Canadian Public Policy by :
Download or read book Recommendations for Embedding Economic and Social Rights in Canadian Public Policy written by and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In previous Universal Periodic Reviews (UPR), concerns were raised about the challenges of Canada's federalist structure and the need for measures to ensure the implementation of human rights by all orders of government. If the progressive realization of economic and social rights is to be the "north star" of Canadian social policy, it cannot be contingent on the actions of one government alone. Legislation, policy, and programmatic coherence is required across all governments in Canada to ensure that the maximum available resources used by one government are complemented by others. Maytree is focusing its submission on developments related to recommendations from Canada's third UPR and on strengthening the implementation of social and economic rights, concentrating on housing and income security. Our submission emphasizes that Canada's commitments under international human rights law apply to all orders of government, and that implementation relies on legislation at each level.
Book Synopsis The Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council by : Elvira Dominguez-Redondo
Download or read book The Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council written by Elvira Dominguez-Redondo and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal Periodic Review is an innovative mechanism for protecting and promoting human rights within the United Nations. Instituted by the Human Rights Council in 2006, it reviews human rights situations in all States. This article analyses the configuration of this new procedure in order to assess its success in de-politicizing human rights, and in providing substantive output on the improvement of human rights at domestic level. While it remains early to detect trends, the experience of the first session of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review could shed light on both positive developments and concerns.
