Yet, these efforts often run into serious problems of enforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany countries formed national human rights institutions (NHRIs) with independent mandates to support and monitor government compliance with international human rights law. Be they commissions, ombudsmen, or tribunals, these institutions vary in their power and impact. For this book, Corina Lacatus surveyed NHRIs in Europe and around the world to determine their effectiveness and explain why some succeed while others fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Strength of Our Commitments\u003c\/em\u003e explores the relationship between the domestic and international support an institution receives and its ability to secure resources, credibility, and tangibly improve human rights conditions. Lacatus shows that NHRIs can be models of resilience, even in the face of opposition from political elites. Although their impact on human rights is difficult to measure, \u003cem\u003eThe Strength of Our Commitments\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how NHRIs' strength comes from clearly defined formal powers, strong institutional leadership, and independence from political interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433050030316,"sku":"9780226831411","price":73.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226831411.jpg?v=1774765690"},{"product_id":"delivering-on-promises-by-lauren-j-peritz-9780226822150","title":"Delivering on Promises","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA timely investigation into the conditions that make international agreements—and the institutions that enforce them—vulnerable.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen do international institutions effectively promote economic cooperation among countries and help them resolve conflict? Although the international system lacks any central governing authority, states have created rules, particularly around international economic relations, and empowered international tribunals to enforce those rules.
