AB Half a century ago, on 16 December 1966, the UN General Assembly adopted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). While the adoption of the two UN human rights covenants was celebrated all over the world, their 50th anniversary has received very little attention from the international community. The present book marks this anniversary by taking stock of the first half-century of the existence of what are probably the world's two most important human rights treaties. It does so by reflecting on what the covenants have achieved (or failed to achieve) in the years that have passed, by determining and comparing their current influence in the various regions of the world, and by assessing their potential roles in the future.
NO "At the origin of this volume was the idea that the fiftieth anniversary of the two UN human rights Covenants was a cause for celebration and reflection. We therefore gathered a group of eminent scholars and invited them to a symposium coorganized by the University of Zurich's Institute for Public International Law and the European Society of International Law and held in Zurich on 14-15 April 2016."
