Human rights covenants mark 60 years

Original: The Covenants at 60: Defending a promise of justice and safety

The two International Covenants on Human Rights — on civil and political rights and on economic, social and cultural rights — are marking their 60th anniversary. The UN human rights office is using the milestone to renew calls for governments to uphold the promises of justice, dignity and safety the treaties embody. Observers note growing pressure on rights protections worldwide, making the anniversary a moment of both commemoration and concern.

Why now: The 60th anniversary of the covenants prompts reflection on the state of human rights protection today.
