Synopsis: Human rights is a principal field of international cooperation in the world of the 1990s, with the United Nations as the central focus of these efforts, with the major challenge for the 1990s being to provide effective procedures and mechanisms both for sustained monitoring and for rapid and constructive responses to violations. This work examines the functions, procedures, and performance of each of the major bodies of the United Nations which deal with human rights. They also look at the relationships among the various organs and the potential for major reforms and restructuring. The contributors have all been close and active participants in the United Nations and include Declan O'Donovan, Laura Reanda, Roberta Jacobson, Andrew Byrnes, and Virginia A. Leary.

"An excellent source of reliable, well-documented, and up-to-date information on the work of the different U.N. institutions. It will also be very helpful for non-governmental human rights organization s that want to influence the work of the various bodies."--Yale Journal of International Law
