Although NGOs are not generally provided for in the hard law of treaties, they use the UN human rights system to hold Governments to account. A key way in which they do so is using State reporting mechanisms, initially the UN treaty bodies, but more recently supplemented by the Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review. In doing so, NGOs provide information and contribute to developing recommendations. NGOs also lobby for new treaties, contribute to the drafting of these treaties, and bring individual's complaints to the UN human rights bodies. This book charts the historical development of the NGO role in the UN. It examines the UN regulation of NGOs but the largely informal nature of the role, and an exploration of the various types of NGOs, including some less benign actors such as GONGOs (Governmental NGOs). It also draws on empirical data to illustrate NGO influence on UN human rights bodies and gives voice to stakeholders both inside and outside the UN. The book concludes that the current UN human rights system is heavily reliant on NGOs and that they play an essential fact-finding role and contribute to global democratisation and governance"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a United Nations. 610 27 $a United Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530351 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038538 776 08 $i Online version: $a McGauhey, Fiona. $t Non-governmental organisations and the united nations human rights system $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9780429433320 $w (DLC) 2020055413 830 0 $a Routledge research in human rights law. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BC937D0177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
