Human rights bodies and mechanisms

The UN has several bodies that monitor how countries protect human rights. This page explains who they are, who can use them, and how.

This is sample content prepared for the demonstration site.

Treaty bodies

Committees of independent experts review how countries apply the human rights treaties they have ratified.

Universal Periodic Review

Every UN Member State has its human rights record reviewed by other States about every five years. Civil society and national human rights institutions can send information.

Special Procedures

Independent experts report on specific themes or countries, and can visit countries at their invitation.
