UN Treaty Bodies

UN Treaty Bodies are international committees composed of experts who monitor how countries follow specific human rights treaties they’ve signed. When a country agrees to a treaty, the Treaty Body reviews reports from that country and assesses whether it’s respecting its commitments. They also consider individual complaints about violations and provide guidance to improve human rights protections. These bodies help ensure countries stay accountable to their international promises, promoting respect for fundamental rights and freedoms worldwide.
