| Description |
|
This is a guide to accessing and using the various UN and regional systems of human rights protection. It highlights the various UN treaties, monitoring committees and special rapporteurs and provides information on the African and Inter-American human rights systems, and the various human rights bodies in Europe. The guide is specifically intended for use by activists working to defend the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people as well as people living with HIV/AIDS, yet should be useful for anyone involved in human rights work. Includes a useful listing of specific rights protected by the major international instruments. |
