This publication reproduces the core universal
human rights treaties in pocket size. It is based on the comprehensive
compilation that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights (OHCHR) published in February 2003: Human Rights: A Compilation
of International Instruments - Universal Instruments. By publishing the
core treaties in this user-friendly format, OHCHR wishes to make them more
accessible, in particular to Government officials, civil society, human
rights defenders, legal practitioners, scholars, individual citizens and
others with an interest in human rights norms and standards.
