Denunciación de abusos de derechos humanos

Disculpa, pero esta entrada está disponible sólo en inglés.

The Special Rapporteur can intervene directly with governments on alleged human rights violations that relate to extreme poverty and human rights. He does this by means of letters, which can take the form of either an urgent appeal or an ordinary communication. Such an intervention can relate to a human rights violation that has already occurred, is ongoing, or which has a high risk of occurring. The process involves sending a letter to the concerned State identifying the facts of the allegation, applicable international human rights norms and standards, concerns and questions, and a request for follow-up action. In some cases, communications are also sent to inter-governmental organisations or non-State actors.

Communications may deal with individual cases, general patterns and trends of human rights violations, cases affecting a particular group or community, or the content of draft or existing legislation, policy or practice considered not to be fully compatible with international human rights standards. More information on communications, including how to submit information to the Special Rapporteur, is available here.

The current page contains links to individual communications issued by the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. A full list of joint communications issued with other Special Rapporteurs is available here.
