The Law and Process of the U.N. Human Rights Committee (Procedural Aspects of International Law Series)

Blurb

First written as a doctoral dissertation (in 1999 from George Washington U. Law School), this volume provides a detailed analysis of the UN's Human Rights Committee, concluding with a critique of the committee's effectiveness. The volume provides the historical background of the Committee, defines the international norms that apply to its procedures, provides an extensive discussion of its communications process, and discusses the implications of the Committee's avoidance of examining states parties' compliance. The evidence of specific cases is used to illustrate every point. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
