EHDR-UK
publishes U.N. Instructions and Model Complaint Form
for Reporting Human Rights Abuses
to the United Nations
London, July 16, 2003
EHDR-UK has recently
run a campaign to inform the public and civil societies that human rights
complaints could be filed under UN’s international human rights treaties.
The campaign notified and encouraged many civil societies to use the
possibility that exists in reporting human rights abuses to the United
Nations on behalf of the abused.
It was pointed out that the complaint need not take any particular
form and can be made at any time. It would be best if one would follow
the Model Complaint Form.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
covers a broad range of civil and political rights ranging from the right
to life to the right to a fair trial and the right to non-discrimination.
