“Renewing America’s Commitment to International Law"

United Nations Association USA

The report stresses that American participation in international treaty regimes is essential to induce other nations to join in cooperative action on the great many global challenges America faces. Treaties on nuclear arms, international justice, human rights, biologic diversity, organic pollutants, climate change, and regulation of the oceans have been adopted by much of the world but have languished without ratification by the United States. The report notes that trade treaties have been “fast-tracked” and adopted by majority votes with amendments and filibusters barred. It observes that human rights treaties have been unable to win a 2/3 majority in the Senate and suggests a similar “fast track” treatment for human rights treaties.

Submission to UN Human Rights Council Universal Period Review of the USA re Treaty Ratifications

Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), United Nations

In order to provide full respect for and protection of the rights within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and comply with its human rights obligations, the United States should extend and enhance existing domestic law protections by: (1) taking immediate steps to ratify key international human rights treaties and interpret rights contained within ratified treaties in line with international human rights standards, including protections of economic, social and cultural rights; (2) removing any reservations, understandings and declarations (RUDs) that undermine compliance with, or violate the object and purpose of, treaties; (3) adopting implementing legislation and optional protocols to ensure treaties are enforceable and that domestic law is in full compliance with treaty obligations; and (4) establishing federal mechanisms to ensure comprehensive coordination and monitoring of treaty implementation and federal, state and local compliance with international human rights obligations.

Much legitimate criticism of the Council centers on its disappointing treatment of specific country situations. The problems are political, not institutional. The challenge is to develop the political will for this system to directly address abuses, rather than hold back criticism to avoid giving offense. There is a special need for engagement by the United States.

“Opportunities for NGO Advocacy in the Universal Periodic Review Process at the U.N. Human Rights Council”

Oxford Journal of Human Rights Practice

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process in the UN Human Rights Council offers new high-profile opportunities for nongovernmental organization (NGO) advocacy to improve the observance of human rights. Some of the most significant opportunities lie not in the proceedings in the Human Rights Council in Geneva, but internally in societies around the world. NGOs can engage in a continuous cycle of advocacy built around UPR: advocating for national consultations, special procedure visits, and ratification of human rights treaties; submitting information to treaty monitoring bodies and in the UPR process itself; advocating for the acceptance of recommendations made in UPR and then for implementation of those recommendations. NGO submissions for use in the UPR process are published on the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR) UPR website page for the state involved, and become part of a central reference for anyone looking at the human rights record of that government. OHCHR guidelines should be followed. NGOs should lobby states to make specific recommendations to the states under review. Governments may be lobbied to accept them both at their Geneva Mission and at home in their national capitals. Recommendations should call on states to take clearly identified measures. NGOs should continue advocacy to urge states to implement the commitments they made. UPR is useful for advocacy on the full range of human rights issues. UPR provides a new opportunity to address recommendations to violator states and focus international pressure to correct abuses and unjust practices. For states truly open to improvement, UPR offers an opportunity to get the attention of high-level officials and policy-makers for human rights problems.
