Answer 2

Answer:

The Office of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), a department of the United Nations Secretariat was established following the World Conference on Human Rights in 1993. Its role is to prevent human rights violations and secure respect for human rights by promoting international cooperation and coordinating the United Nations’ human rights activities.

A number of human rights treaties have established treaty-monitoring bodies to supervise the implementation of treaty obligations by State Parties:

1. the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination monitors State Parties compliance with ICERD;
2. the Human Rights Committee monitors State Parties compliance with the ICCPR;
3. the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights monitors State Parties compliance with the ICESCR;
4. the Committee against Torture monitors State Parties compliance with CAT;
5. the Committee on Migrant Workers monitors State Parties compliance with the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers and their Families;
6. the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women monitors State Parties compliance with CEDAW; and
7. the Committee on the Rights of the Child monitors State Parties compliance with the CRC.
8. Treaty Bodies consider reports from State Parties on their compliance with the treaty and some treaty bodies can receive individual complaints of treaty body violations.

Individual complaints

Some Treaty Bodies have additional powers to receive and consider complaints from individuals who allege they are the victims of human rights violations by the State. The bodies with the power to hear individual complaints are:

1. the Human Rights Committee;
2. the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination;
3. the Committee against Torture; and
4. the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.
5. A finding of a Treaty Body that a State Party has violated a person’s human rights under the treaty is not legally binding.

Individuals can only make complaints to Treaty Bodies if they have exhausted all domestic remedies and if the relevant State Party has recognised the competence of the Treaty Body to hear their complaint.
