Summary:

This book seeks to analyze the legitimacy of the non-jurisdictional control of the United Nations Human Rights System (UNHRS) and the legal criteria that support it. The central question is: To what extent is this form of control legitimate, and what legal principles support it? The book focuses on the principle of universality of human rights, exploring how this principle interacts with the need for intercultural dialogue. The main hypothesis suggests that there is a tension between the principle of universality and non-jurisdictional control, which requires constant interpretation of norms to ensure effective oversight. The interpretation of the right to health by treaty bodies is used as a case study.
