Beskrivning
Eight United Nations human rights treaty bodies (UNTBs) can currently examine 'communications' (complaints) from individuals against states. This edited collection is the first in-depth analysis of the evidentiary regimes developed within this procedure. Nine case studies underscore the weak evidentiary basis of the UNTB decisions and the importance of addressing this issue, while the final chapter offers a set of practical recommendations. Grounded in academic research and legal practice, the volume incorporates doctrinal, critical, socio-legal, and anthropological perspectives. It provides an authoritative reference on UNTBs, whilst aiming at contributing to the strengthening of their evidentiary norms and practices. The title is also available open access on Cambridge Core.

Recensioner i media

'By drawing attention to the crucial role of evidence before United Nations human rights mechanisms, this volume of insightful essays allows readers to look with fresh eyes at  a much-neglected aspect of international human rights law. The collaboration of scholars, litigators and members of some of these mechanisms results in thoughtful evidence-based analyses from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. This welcome work provides fertile ground not only for deepening critical reflection on, but also for enhancing the legitimacy and efficiency of international human rights law.' Frans Viljoen, Professor of International Human Rights Law, University of Pretoria
