International Human Rights Law Content
Conclusion
Regional HR systems have important role to play
Large number and variety of regional HR instruments and institutions
Often reflect regional interests/needs/ experiences
All major regions represented except Asia
Effectiveness varies across systems
Strong implementation keys:
An effective enforcement mechanism
Protection, not just promotion
Complaints, reports, binding judgments
Political will of member States
Critical Concern
Whether regional systems, adapted to specific local conditions, could threaten the universality of human rights or, on the contrary, they contribute to a wider and deeper implementation of universal human rights?
Regional HR System and Universality
Regional human rights systems should not be seen as dangers for the universality of human rights but as Contributors to the implementation of global human rights in various cultural environments.
