Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions is the first comprehensive analysis of the role and impact of informal collaborations in the UN human rights treaty bodies. Issues as central to international human rights as the right to water, abortion, torture, and hate speech are often only clarified through the instrument of treaty interpretations. This book dives beneath the surface of the formal access, procedures, and actors of the UN treaty body system to reveal how the experts and external collaborators play a key role in the development of human rights. Nina Reiners introduces the concept of 'Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions' within a novel theoretical framework and draws on a number of detailed case studies and original data. This study makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on human rights, transnational actors, and international organizations, and contributes to broader debates in international relations and international law.

'Nina Reiners offers a fresh and insightful look into how 'transnational lawmaking coalitions' (TLCs) can expand the impact of human rights treaties. Composed of state-nominated experts and independent professionals, TLCs produce the general comments that sometimes open new domains of rights. The book tells the story of how expert bodies and unpaid issue professionals have expanded international human rights law. Reiners has illuminated a surprisingly little-known phenomenon.' Wayne Sandholtz, University of Southern California
