| Title | RESERVATIONS TO HUMAN RIGHTS TREATIES AND THEIR EFFECT ON HUMAN RIGHTS REGIMES |
| Summary | This thesis analyzes the phenomenon of reservations to human rights treaties. The main aim is to understand the effect that reservations have on human rights regimes. The thesis focuses on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights. The aim is achieved through comparative examination of reservations to these human rights treaties, case law of the competent courts and comments of the UN Human Rights Committee. The thesis shows that reservations can be either beneficial or detrimental for human rights regimes depending on the circumstances. The final chapter draws this border line and gives advices on how to make reservations that would be advantageous for human rights regimes. |
