Human rights are governed through an overlapping set of players. States are the primary duty-bearers, obliged to respect and protect rights, but also frequently the violators. The United Nations provides the framework: the UDHR and binding covenants, the Human Rights Council, treaty monitoring bodies, and judicial mechanisms such as the International Criminal Court (prosecuting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity). Non-governmental organisations (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch) monitor, document and campaign, shaping public and political pressure.
