How to Complain to the UN Human Rights Treaty System

With this volume Professor Bayefsky makes the international complaints procedure arising from the UN human rights treaty system available to individuals, lawyers, non-governmental organizations, and human right advocates in many parts of the world. She begins by indentifying the common features of the four complaints procedures under each of the four treaties. Each treaty is then examined in greater detail. Consideration is finally given to questions of overlap and the choise of a forum. The annexes provide the practical tools for filling a complaint.
