The human rights record of Armenia will face the scrutiny of the United
Nations Human Rights Committee on Monday 16 July and Tuesday 17 July.
As one of the 167 state parties to the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights, which is one of the primary international human
rights treaties, Armenia is required to undergo regular examinations
of its human rights record before the Human Rights Committee. Armenia
was last considered before the Human Rights Committee in 1998.
The Committee, which is composed of 18 independent experts, will engage
in a dialogue with the delegation of Armenia on questions relating
to the promotion and protection of human rights in the country.
The Government of Armenia has already submitted a State report on
implementation of its human rights obligations to the Committee and
a number of non-governmental organizations have also sent reports
for the Committee's consideration.
