Many Happy Returns? The 50th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights

This year the Commission on Human Rights held its 50th session in Geneva. It was not a very special session, partly maybe due to the aftereffects of the World Conference on Human Rights. The established norms were not an issue this year. On supervision and monitoring, the system of working groups and experts reporting on countries and themes is well in place. It proved possible once again to adopt many resolutions on the basis of their reports. Important new mandates on the rights of women and impartiality of the judiciary were added. The Commission also remains a dominant focus point of attention for human rights problems. Problems remain, however, as far as supporting the human rights mechanisms is concerned, cooperation by some governments and follow-up on recommendations. Work from all sides is needed to foster the achievements of norms, supervision and monitoring, publicity and possible future achievements
