Overview

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) is the most important human rights treaty in the world. It is open for ratification to all states so it has universal relevance. This book presents a comprehensive collation and analysis of the jurisprudence of the Human Rights Committee, the monitoring body established under the ICCPR. The substantive articles of the ICCPR are analyzed in separate chapters, incorporating excerpts from decisions under the First Optional Protocol, as well as relevant general comments and concluding comments on states' parties. Decisions under other United Nations treaties, such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, are also excerpted to highlight complementary UN human rights jurisprudence. Up-to-date material on questions of admissibility under the First Optional Protocol are also included. Comprehensively indexed and cross-referenced, this book offers ready access to the complex jurisprudence of the Human Rights Committee and other UN human rights treaty bodies. It is presented in a clear and illuminating manner to facilitate its use by the judiciary, human rights practitioners, human rights activists, government institutions, libraries, academics, and students alike.
