The United Nations Human Right Treaty System: An introduction to the core human rights treaties and the treaty bodies fact sheet no. 30
The United Nations Human Rights Treaty System: An Introduction to the Core Human Rights Treaties and the Treaty Bodies – Fact Sheet No. 30 provides an accessible overview of the structure, purpose, and functioning of the UN human rights treaty system. It explains the nine core international human rights treaties and the corresponding treaty bodies responsible for monitoring their implementation. The publication outlines how States become parties to treaties, submit periodic reports, and engage in constructive dialogue with treaty bodies, as well as the procedures for individual complaints and inquiries. By clarifying the relationship between these mechanisms and other parts of the UN human rights framework, the fact sheet serves as a practical guide for governments, civil society, and individuals seeking to understand and engage with international human rights monitoring and accountability processes.
