Questions of Evidence in the UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies' Individual Communications Procedure

'By drawing attention to the crucial role of evidence before United Nations human rights mechanisms, this volume of insightful essays allows readers to look with fresh eyes at  a much-neglected aspect of international human rights law. The collaboration of scholars, litigators and members of some of these mechanisms results in thoughtful evidence-based analyses from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. This welcome work provides fertile ground not only for deepening critical reflection on, but also for enhancing the legitimacy and efficiency of international human rights law.' Frans Viljoen, Professor of International Human Rights Law, University of Pretoria
'As a former Chair of the Chairs of the ten UN treaty bodies, I trust this timely and precious volume will give an added impetus to the treaty body harmonisation process. Coming at a time of resource constraints and reforms, it will help bring the treaty bodies closer together to hone their evidentiary regimes and deliver accessible, affordable, accountable, adaptable and quality justice and remedies to all.' Hilary Gbedemah, Rector, Law Institute (Ghana); CEDAW member (2013–2024); Chair of Chairs (2019–2020 )
