Rodley --The legal status of decisions by human rights treaty bodies in national law /Rosanne van Alebeek and André Nollkaemper.The effective implementation of human rights treaty obligations in national law is subject to increasing attention. The main responsibility for the international monitoring of national implementation at the global level is entrusted to the UN human rights treaty bodies. These bodies are established by the respective human rights conventions and are composed of independent experts. This book examines three aspects of these bodies: the legal aspects of their structure, functions and decisions; their effectiveness in ensuring respect for human rights obligations; and the legitimacy of these bodies and their decisions. Containing contributions from a variety of eminent legal experts, including present and former members of the treaty bodies, the analysis should be read in light of the ongoing effort to strengthen treaty bodies under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and with the involvement of relevant stakeholders.Studies on human rights conventions.Human rightsInternational agenciesTreatiesHuman rights.International agencies.Treaties.341.4/8POL035010bisacshGrover Leena714949Keller Helen1964-295856Ulfstein Geir1951-1661948MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815570503321UN human rights treaty bodies4198665UNINA
