UN marks 60 years of the human rights Covenants
Original: The Covenants at 60: Defending a promise of justice and safety
The UN human rights office is marking the 60th anniversary of the two International Covenants on human rights, one on civil and political rights and one on economic, social and cultural rights. Adopted in 1966, the Covenants turned the promises of the Universal Declaration into binding law, and the office is urging states to defend their guarantees of justice, dignity and safety at a time of rising pressure on rights worldwide.
Why now: The two Covenants reach their 60th anniversary, prompting the UN to call for renewed commitment to the rights they protect.
