03 June, 2025 - ILS International Law and Practice Course 2025 – Session 4
The International Law Section invites you to attend the fourth lecture as part of the ILS International Law and Practice Course 2025. Be inspired by Chris Sidoti as he shares his expertise on the United Nations' Investigative Human Rights Mechanisms.
Over the past 20 years, the United Nations human rights system has developed independent investigative mechanisms as a means of addressing the most serious human rights situations. The Human Rights Council currently has 11 of these mechanisms. The mechanisms investigate, undertake legal analysis, form conclusions and make recommendations. Chris Sidoti is currently a commissioner on one mechanism, dealing with Israel and Palestine. He has also served on another, on Myanmar. He will speak about the nature and work of the mechanisms and their contributions as part of the international human rights system.
