SUBMISSIONS ON COMMENTS – ARTICLES IN CORE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS TREATIES

In this resource, you will find submissions made by ILGA World on draft general comments on articles in core international human rights treaties.

The human rights Treaty Bodies are committees of independent experts that monitor implementation of the core international human rights treaties. Each State party to a treaty has an obligation to take steps to ensure that everyone in the State can enjoy the rights set out in the treaty.
