UN marks 60 years of the human rights Covenants
Original: The Covenants at 60: Defending a promise of justice and safety
The UN Human Rights Office is marking the 60th anniversary of the two International Covenants on human rights, adopted in 1966 to give binding force to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In a message headlined 'Defending a promise of justice and safety', it is renewing calls on states to uphold civil, political, economic and social rights as universal obligations.
Why now: The anniversaries of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights prompt reflection on whether governments are keeping those commitments.
