av Sari Kouvo
Bokpresentation Since its emergence in 1945, the United Nations (UN) has been one of the key international actors in the human rights field. Despite its efforts to promote human rights, the UN has, nevertheless, received criticism for inadequately championing women’s human rights and for failing to promote equality between the sexes.

That is, the focus is on the background, development and institutional implementation of the strategies for the promotion and integration of women’s human rights and for the advancement of women and the mainstreaming of a gender perspective within the UN’s international policies and agendas. This thesis positions itself within the contemporary discussion surrounding international human rights and is a contribution to the feminist and critical legal debates about international human rights.
