The Center for Reproductive Law and Policy and the University of Toronto International Programme on Reproductive and Sexual Health Law present BRINGING RIGHTS TO BEAR: AN ANALYSIS OF THE WORK OF UN TREATY MONITORING BODIES ON REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL RIGHTS, a report that "charts the collective work of six UN committees as they break new ground in translating human rights standards into state responsibility on a broad spectrum of reproductive rights issues." A separate guide for advocates highlights strategies for promoting reproductive rights and can be used alone or as a companion to the report.
