Abstract

This briefing is based on the principal conclusions of the third workshop of the Inter-American Human Rights Network, held at University of Ghent’s Human Rights Centre in January 2016. The workshop represented an innovative attempt at comparative analysis by scholars and practitioners of the challenges facing human rights systems across the globe. Workshop participants critically examined and compared a full range of international human rights bodies to assess the extent to which policies and procedures have helped to advance the realisation of human rights, and how best practices may be adapted across different systems. The debate focused principally on the operation of regional human rights systems in the Americas, Africa and Europe, but due consideration was also given to the mechanisms available before the United Nations. The main conclusions from the workshop and a series of recommendations for future research on comparative research on international human rights bodies are outlined in this briefing paper.
