Human Rights Institutions Questions
The Human Rights Committee is a body established under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Its function is to monitor the implementation of the ICCPR by the states that have ratified the treaty. The committee consists of independent experts who review periodic reports submitted by states, engage in a dialogue with state representatives, and provide recommendations and guidance on how to improve human rights protection. Additionally, the committee can receive and consider individual complaints from individuals claiming violations of their rights under the ICCPR. Overall, the Human Rights Committee plays a crucial role in promoting and protecting human rights globally.
