This volume provides a detailed and concrete analysis of how human rights complaints mechanisms can be accessed by refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced persons.

The guide offers a thorough explanation of the United Nations human rights treaty bodies, with a focus upon the four committees authorized to receive communications from individuals. Detailed information is provided concerning procedural requirements, while the treaties are analyzed for their relevance to the forcibly displaced. United Nations mechanisms are also examined, with an emphasis on the thematic and country special procedures of the Commission on Human Rights.
