论联合国人权公约缔约国报告制度的改革

On the Reform of State Reporting System of UN Human Rights Covenants

缔约国报告制度面临的问题是引发改革的动因,而当前诸多改革建议只是从技术层面上入手,因而无法真正推动改革。只有在充分认识到缔约国报告制度的制约因素的基础上,才能提出有针对性的建议。改革的思路应该是,在坚持国家主权的前提下,修改人权公约、重新定位条约监督机构,加强缔约国之间的交流与对话。

It is necessary to reform state reporting system because it confronts several serious problems currently, while the proposals of reform can not resolve these problems effectively. Only when we recognize the elements which limit the state report system＇s function, can we put forward practicable suggestions. We should amend human rights covenants and adjust the function of treaty bodies and strengthen dialogues between the state parties on the basis of respecting national sovereignty.
