About the product
A culture of human rights can be ours but words will not suffice; sustained individual and collective efforts are required. This United Nations Briefing Paper outlines the concrete steps that are being taken by the United Nations at the international and national levels to strengthen its human rights programmes and work more effectively with its partners in government and civil society to assure rights for all. In addition to outlining United Nations work in the field, it provides a blueprint of the work of the various intergovernmental human rights bodies. It also features annexes, including a chronology of UN human rights landmarks since 1945, an outline of key human rights conventions and a bibliography of related publications and other resources available to the general public.
