The Convention's General Comments

General Comments are guidelines issued by the UN treaty bodies that interpret and elaborate on the rights and obligations outlined in international human rights treaties. They provide insights into how these treaties should be applied in practice, addressing various issues like discrimination, children's rights, and economic, social, and cultural rights. Essentially, they help countries understand their responsibilities under the treaties and offer recommendations on implementation, ensuring that human rights are upheld in diverse contexts globally. These Comments serve as important tools for advocacy, implementation, and monitoring of human rights standards.
