UN marks 60 years of the human rights Covenants
Original: The Covenants at 60: Defending a promise of justice and safety
The United Nations human rights office is marking the 60th anniversary of the two International Covenants, on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, both adopted in 1966. The campaign, 'Defending a promise of justice and safety', argues the treaties remain the backbone of international human rights law and calls on states to renew their commitments amid growing global rights pressures.
Why now: Anniversaries of the foundational human rights treaties prompt reflection on how well states are honoring them today.
