As Secretary of the Council he has played a central role in shaping and guiding it, and in this book he shares the insights that governments, advocates, scholars, and others interested in the Council and the UN's human rights programme need to know.' -- Philip Alston, New York University, School of Law, US 'Eric Tistounet, with precision and an extraordinary pedagogical capacity, describes the operation of the most important intergovernmental human rights body worldwide. The ''Geneva atmosphere'' is perfectly reflected; the text shows the game and roles of all actors - the international community, states, non-governmental organizations and experts - in the different procedures of the Human Rights Council. Essential reading to understand the legal and political dimensions of human rights debates in the United Nations Organization.' --Fabian Salvioli, UN Special Rapporteur for the Promotion of Truth, Justice, Reparations and Guarantees of Non Recurrence, Argentina'The author is well-placed to raise awareness and understanding of the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms from his unique vantage point of having worked with the Council since before its inception - a timely analysis as the Council reflects on its own efficiency and effectiveness.' --Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights 'This book offers key insights on the United Nations' principal human rights body. The author uses his insider knowledge and expertise to explain how the Council works, and to assess its strengths and weaknesses. Scholars, practitioners, and students will greatly benefit from reading and learning from this work.' --Rosa Freedman, University of Reading, UK Author InformationEric Tistounet, Chief of the Human Rights Council Branch, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Switzerland Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
