ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the key organisations and institutions which draft and monitor modern international human rights law. The United Nations is the primary international organisation enjoying responsibility for international human rights protection. The Economic and Social Council may make or initiate studies and reports with respect to international economic, social, cultural, educational, health, and related matters and may make recommendations with respect to any such matters to the General Assembly to the Members of the United Nations, and to the specialized agencies concerned. The Court shall be composed of a body of independent judges, elected regardless of their nationality from among persons of high moral character, who possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for appointment to the highest judicial offices, or are juris consults of recognized competence in international law. The International Labour Organisation was established in 1919 after the conclusion of the First World War.
