Part II then considers the extent to which human rights law is applicable extraterritorially, again in the light of the practice of human rights bodies.

The objective of the seminar was to demonstrate and contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between national good governance practices and the promotion of human rights, leading to the identification of patterns and characteristics of good governance practices that promote human rights.

First, these bodies can only monitor the practices of States that are parties to the respective human rights treaty.

2001 United States Department of State Country Reports on Human Rights Practices and 2002 Amnesty International Report.

Impartial investigations into all allegations of human rights violations were essential. The effectiveness of the machinery for the protection of human rights must also be objectively assessed and delegations must ask themselves whether the resolutions of the Commission on Human Rights or the Third Committee had really had an impact on State practice and whether ways could be found of increasing their effectiveness.

In its 2005 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, the U.S. Department of State formally recognizes submersion of the head in water as torture in its examination of Tunisia's poor human rights record.

It requires constant education and the establishment of practices and institutions to uphold and protect individual, minority and public rights.

Yet those who examine the impact of the Bush administration on human rights practices internationally often argue that Bush s reelection will do long lasting perhaps irreversible damage to the human rights cause. What explains this apparent contradiction?

In the area of human rights, we support the elevation of the Commission on Human Rights to a Human Rights Council, a body that would be apolitical and insist on the protection both of civil and political rights and of economic, social and cultural rights.
