A Year in Review – 2016
An Analysis of the Findings of the UN Human Rights Committee in 2016
The Human Rights Committee in session
The Centre for Civil and Political Rights is delighted to introduce this analysis of the 2016 findings of the UN Human Rights Committee. For this third edition, the research analyses the main issues emerging from the Concluding Observations and individual communications during 2016. It reflects the main concerns discussed by the Committee during the reviews of State Parties as well as the latest developments in the Committee’s jurisprudence.
"For the first time, the Yearbook includes an analysis of the findings of other Treaty Bodies. This new approach allows us to have a comprehensive overview of the Committees' interpretations on civil and political rights."
