Book Synopsis Comparative Study on Mandates of National Human Rights Institutions in the Commonwealth by : Commonwealth Secretariat
Download or read book Comparative Study on Mandates of National Human Rights Institutions in the Commonwealth written by Commonwealth Secretariat and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 2007 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first Commonwealth-wide comparative study of national human rights institutions (NHRIs), and is designed to help everyone interested in establishing and developing NHRIs to improve their effectiveness. The study looks at the international framework for the protection of human rights, and the historical and political background to the establishment of NHRIs and ombudsman offices. The individual mandates of various institutions are considered, looking at them region by region. Finally, the study compares the normative framework and mandates of the NHRIs are analysed, comparing what NHRIs are empowered to do and what they are doing in practice, though value judgements as to the merits and demerits of individual named institutions are avoided. Rather than provide a detailed theoretical analysis, the study concentrates on helping practitioners and policy-makers improve the working of NHRIs in practice, and will be a useful tool both to the institutions themselves and to all those who wish to support them.

Book Synopsis Commonwealth Model National Plan of Action on Human Rights by : Commonwealth Secretariat
Download or read book Commonwealth Model National Plan of Action on Human Rights written by Commonwealth Secretariat and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 2007 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many countries seek to improve their capacity to protect and promote human rights in accordance with constitutional imperatives and Commonwealth values, they often lack a clear roadmap on how to do so. Currently, there is no single and easy-to-use model which Commonwealth countries can use as a basis for planning the process. This guide will particularly useful for those in smaller countries who wish to develop a human rights plan. The action plan makes three key points: first that full public participation in the development of a national action plan is key to a successful outcome, secondly that putting the plan into operation need not mean adding another bureaucratic layer to government, and thirdly that the model is a model only, and not intended to be prescriptive.

This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Principles relating to the Status of National Institutions (the Paris Principles) were adopted by National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) and endorsed by both the UN General Assembly and Human Rights Commission. Since their adoption, they have become the standards applicable to these institutions with a mandate to promote and protect human rights. This book offers a complete study of the Paris Principles, which includes an appraisal of their establishment, evolution and potential for the future; a comprehensive commentary on each provision; and a practical guide to their interpretation, including the implications they have for the implementation of the competencies of NHRIs. This is the first book to thoroughly analyse the Paris Principles and will be essential reading for a global audience of both practitioners working for NHRIs and the UN as well as human rights scholars.

Book Synopsis National Human Rights Institutions in the Asia-Pacific Region by : Brian Burdekin
Download or read book National Human Rights Institutions in the Asia-Pacific Region written by Brian Burdekin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide a consolidated collection of materials to facilitate comparison of the various national human rights institutions (NHRIs) already established in the Asia-Pacific region, against a background of selected international materials and with the assistance of several comparative tables. The latter are not intended to be exhaustive, but are designed to assist in identifying and considering the strengths and weaknesses inherent in the legislative mandates of each national institution. While the collection is primarily intended for teaching purposes, it should also be useful to countries considering establishing a national human rights commission or, for those which have already done so, strengthening its mandate. For this reason several sections have been included outlining the relationship which should exist between NHRIs, the Executive, the Legislature, the Judiciary and other related institutions and a short section on the importance of the process which should precede their establishment.
Book Synopsis The Protection Role of National Human Rights Institutions by : Bertie G. Ramcharan
Download or read book The Protection Role of National Human Rights Institutions written by Bertie G. Ramcharan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the more promising developments in global efforts to uphold human rights over the past decade has been the growing role of national human rights institutions. A role for national institutions was foreseen by the United Nations Economic and Social Council as early as 1946 and since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 the Commission on Human Rights and the United Nations Secretariat have sought to promote the role of such institutions. This volume offers a wealth of information on the protection functions of existing national human rights institutions in a wide selection of countries, drawn from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and Oceania. These essays together make clear the genuine striving by national human rights commissions to act for the protection of human rights in the countries they serve, and the variety of protection models that can and are being adopted, both in developed and developing countries.
