ENFORCEMENT AND MONITORING OF SENTENCES IN THE MODERN WAR CRIMES PROCESS: EQUAL TREATMENT BEFORE THE LAW?

Human Rights Seminar Series 20100-2011 
The Center for International Human Rights, John Jay College of Criminal Justice

 

Assessing Human Rights: Monitoring Mechanisms

The purpose of this year’s seminar is to examine how monitoring mechanisms are utilized to assess compliance with international human rights norms and standards. This subject is especially pertinent in light of the recent report submission by the US government to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as a part of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) procedures of the UN Human Rights Council. Specifically, the seminar will focus on how these monitoring mechanisms can be used to hold States accountable to their international obligations and as tools for advocacy. The seminar will explore the monitoring mechanisms of charter and treaty based bodies, as well as extra-conventional mechanisms and the supplemental monitoring of non-governmental organizations.
