Working for Change, No. 2 A Practical Guide to Preparing Alternative Reports to United Nations Treaty Bodies addressing the Economic, Social and Cultural Root Causes of Torture and Other Forms of Violence

Practical Guide to Preparing Alternative Reports to United Nations Treaty Bodies
73 pages / 474 KB

Working together for change
 
This publication is intended to help NGOs combat torture and other forms of violence by providing guidance on the preparation of alternative reports on the economic, social and cultural root causes of torture and violence to UN treaty bodies.
 
The purpose of these alternative reports is to raise awareness of the economic, social and cultural root causes of torture and other forms of violence in a national context and, above all, to promote change by influencing the Committee’s concluding observations and recommendations to the government. These, in turn, can be powerful tools for national action to improve respect for human rights.
 
For more information, see OMCT’s economic, social and cultural rights website.
