Universal Human Rights Instruments

Universal Human Rights Instruments

Each of the following treaties has a different system of implementation. It ranges from general and specific reporting procedures to quasi-judicial  and judicial mechanisms involving the adjudication of complaints brought by individuals or groups of individuals, and, in some instances, even by other States. These procedures can in many respects be complementary, and, although they have slightly different immediate purposes, the overall goal of human rights protection is identical in each case.
