CGPL Launches Collections of Turkish Translations of UN Treaty Bodies’ Views
February 3, 2016
CGPL is happy to launch a collection of selected Turkish translations and analyses of the Views of the United Nations Treaty Bodies. In the 2016 academic year, we aim to translate ten views from the United Nations Treaty Bodies Views and accompanying analyses. Given that Türkiye is a state party to nine out of ten United Nations Human Rights Conventions, we believe that the translations of the views of the Treaty Bodies will bring the United Nations Conventions closer to home. We start our selection with R.P.B. v. the Philippines, focussing on the need to combat rape myths and approach vulnerability in its multiple forms in criminal prosecutions.
