Beginning in January 2010, ISHR will move to a quarterly publication format to replace the New York Monitor, Treaty Body Monitor, UPR Monitor and Council Monitor publications. The first edition of the Human Rights Monitor Quarterly will be published in mid-April 2010, followed by editions in mid-July and mid-October 2010. The fourth edition will be incorporated into ISHR’s annual Human Rights Monitor, updated to include events from October to December 2010, and published as usual in March of the following year.
The April 2010 edition of the Human Rights Monitor Quarterly will include articles on the 45th session of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the 76th session of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the 98th session of the Human Rights Committee, the 4th session of the Advisory Committee, the 7th session of the UPR and the 13th session of the Human Rights Council. The Quarterly will also include an article on regional developments and upcoming activities, as well possible additional articles from New York on the Security Council and Peacebuilding Commission.
The Quarterly will feature a new section on issue-specific developments within the international or regional human rights systems, a calendar of upcoming UN and regional events, and a listing of forthcoming opportunities for NGO/NHRI engagement in the coming quarter and beyond.
ISHR will increase its regular news outputs to ensure that important information is received between quarterly publications. This will include Council and General Assembly Alerts, relevant updates during sessions, as well as short summaries of treaty body examinations and UPR reviews in place of previous more lengthy narrative reports. These will be accessible from the same pages of our website. It is hoped that this approach will provide a more comprehensive, focused, timely and analytical overview of international and regional developments.
As ISHR will continue to monitor all relevant human rights meetings, individuals who wish to receive more information on any review can do so by contacting us at

. We will retain detailed records of each review and are happy to furnish additional information.
As a subscriber to our News and Publications, you will automatically receive both the Human Rights Monitor Quarterly (which will count around 48 pages) and the usual News updates by e-mail. Naturally, you will have the opportunity at any time to unsubscribe from either.
We look forward to launching the new publication in April and receiving your feedback! |
