Human Rights and the U.N. Committee on Crime Prevention and Control

Abstract

Numerous subsidiary organs of the General Assembly and of the Economic and Social Council have played a part in the human rights program of the United Nations. For the first thirty years or so of its life the organization concentrated primarily on the development of normative texts; more recent efforts have emphasized implementation. The United Nations Committee on Crime Prevention and Control has been expanding its role both in the creation of human rights standards in the broad criminal justice area and in endeavoring to implement those standards on the ground. On first exposure, the Committee's main area of activity is a category of civil and political rights, namely, the protection of rights in the administration of justice. Further examination of its work in such areas as the prevention of juvenile delinquency or domestic violence suggests that its role encompasses various aspects of economic, social, and cultural rights as well. The author examines the work of the Committee with the particular aim of increasing its visibility.
