human rights tribunals
Human rights tribunals are specialized legal bodies that address violations of human rights. They provide a platform for individuals or groups to seek justice when their rights, as outlined in international agreements like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are infringed upon. These tribunals can operate at national, regional, or international levels, depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the violations.
These tribunals often focus on cases involving discrimination, torture, or unlawful detention. They aim to hold accountable those responsible for human rights abuses, including governments and individuals. Notable examples include the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
