Committee on Human Rights

The Committee on Human Rights, often referring to the UN Human Rights Committee, is a group of experts that monitors the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) by its member countries. It reviews reports from these states on their human rights practices, addresses complaints from individuals about rights violations, and offers recommendations for improvement. The Committee plays a crucial role in promoting and protecting human rights globally, ensuring that governments uphold their commitments to civil liberties, political rights, and fundamental freedoms for all individuals.
