Examining Human Rights And Monitoring Ingo's With Emphasis On Human Rights Watch


,
Abstract

International human rights Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are the third generation of international arena actors with a significant presence and growth in recent decades carrying out a wide range of activities for monitoring. They monitor government compliance with human rights obligations with the governments and international organizations at the international and national levels. A careful examination of governments' human rights measures and the publication of detailed reports of the existing violations have turned them into major critics of governments. These organizations represent civil society and make efforts to pursue the demands of the people at the national and international levels. They gather information from victims, support them, and, by guiding public opinion, provide opportunities for interaction or confrontation with governments or other human rights actors. Moreover, they have established their status in the international judicial system and accompany victims of violations during trials, to some extent, either as friends of the court or as plaintiffs. Our question is whether international human rights NGOs have been able to monitor the implementation of human rights at the national and international levels.
We hypothesize that these organizations have been able to play their supervisory role well by increasing their powers and scope of activities.
Using the theory of neoliberal institutionalism, we concluded that international human rights NGOs have been able to monitor governments and the international community for the implementation of human rights by expanding regulatory methods and by using public opinion.
