  • More about International Human Rights Monitoring Mechanisms: A Study of Their Impact in the UK

Brice Dickson's book explores the UK's engagement with international human rights monitoring mechanisms, including the UN and Council of Europe, since 2000. It examines how these mechanisms work in practice and their impact on human rights protection, focusing on general monitoring, civil and political rights, and discrimination. The book demonstrates that while monitoring mechanisms play a crucial role, attributing specific rights enhancements to them is challenging. It is a valuable resource for human rights law students and scholars, as well as academics interested in public international law and politics.

Brice Dickson delves into the United Kingdom's involvement in international human rights monitoring mechanisms, particularly those operated by the United Nations and the Council of Europe since 2000. He explores the practical workings of these mechanisms and assesses their impact on the protection of human rights in the UK. Dickson examines the role of monitoring mechanisms in enforcing human rights standards and the commitment of the UK to this role. He analyzes the work of various monitoring mechanisms, including general monitoring mechanisms, those focused on civil and political rights, social and economic rights, and mechanisms addressing discrimination based on gender, race, age, or disability.

The book demonstrates that while monitoring mechanisms play a crucial role in holding the UK government accountable, attributing significant improvements in the protection of specific rights to them is challenging. It provides a comprehensive study of the operation of international human rights monitoring mechanisms, making it an invaluable resource for human rights law students and scholars, particularly those interested in civil, social, and non-discrimination rights. Academics studying public international law and politics will also find this text of interest.
