185 civil society groups urge States to back UN treaty bodies
Original: HRC63: 185 civil society organisations call on States to reaffirm their political and financial commitment to the UN treaty bodies
On the opening of the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, 185 civil society organisations issued a joint call urging States to reaffirm their political and financial commitment to the UN treaty bodies. The coalition warns that the expert committees monitoring human rights treaties depend on adequate funding and state cooperation to review compliance and hold governments accountable.
Why now: The joint appeal timed to the Human Rights Council session highlights growing concern over shrinking funding and support for UN human rights monitoring mechanisms.
