In a 28-page report released today, the ICJ called on the Nepali Government and the House of Representatives to make 19 changes to the draft Army Act, which is currently being considered by parliament.
La CIJ se preocupa de la situación de la administración de justicia, el alto grado de impunidad, los ataques contra operadores de justicia y defensores de derechos humanos, como así también la falta de acceso a la justicia y reconocimiento de la justicia indígena.
At the end of a four-day mission to Nepal, the ICJ today expressed deep concern that human rights violations will escalate if the political turmoil in the country increases.
Durante las cuatro últimas décadas, Colombia ha sido el escenario de graves y persistentes violaciones de derechos humanos y de derecho humanitario.
The ICJ released its report entitled “Reforming the Human Rights System: A Chance for the United Nations to fulfil Its Promise.”
The report expresses support for proposals to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights with a standing human rights council with a higher position in the UN system.
It sets out how a new council can strengthen the UN’s work in addressing serious human rights situations at the country and thematic levels and in human rights standard-setting.
