Izhikov, M.Y. Conventional bodies within the system of protection of human rights: some problems and their solutions.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the system of conventional bodies, as established by the universal treaties on protection of human rights. Having studied their activities, the author singles out the problems of these systems, which diminish the effi ciency of protection of human rights at the international level. In the author’s point of view such problems include the states ignoring their obligations on periodic reporting, doubling, contradictions in the work of the committees, lengthy procedures for the review of claims and complaints, etc. Trying to solve these various problems, the conventional bodies develop some measures, including early prevention and immediate action, they pass general resolutions, provide the states with the specifi c prescriptions on the ways to restore the violated rights of claimants, they fi ght the overbroad exceptions to the conventions, involve into their work various law-protecting organizations. However, the author considers these measures insuffi cient Having studied the proposition of the High Commissioner of the UN on Human Rights, the author formulates the alternative proposal for the enhancement of the effi ciency of this system.
