International Service for Human Rights

Latest articles and developments

Please visit ISHR's main webpage on the Security Council for the latest articles and developments.  

In 2010 ISHR introduced a new periodic publication called Human Rights Monitor Quarterly. Here we will report on and analyse the latest developments at the Security Council from a human rights perspective. Sometimes this will be in the form of a dedicated article, other times it will be in the form of text box updates in related articles, such an article on the latest session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. In this way, ISHR intends to 'link up' the various UN organs that have a responsibility to protect and promote human rights. In so doing,  we will point out where there are gaps and lost opportunities, as well as openings for civil society advocacy, and achievements to be celebrated.
