5.2 The International Human Rights Law Protection Mechanism

The HR treaties' refugee-relevant machinery (the protection's second pillar): The CAT (Convention against Torture): the Article 3 absolute bar (the removal-to-torture prohibition — no exception, no security balance); the Committee's individual communications (the removal-order victims' complaints); The ICCPR: the non-refoulement jurisprudence (the removal to the arbitrary-deprivation-and- death-penalty risks — the Arts 6-7 protection's face); the Human Rights Committee's communications (the individual complaints) + the General Comments (the interpretation's authority); The CRC: the child's best interests (the removal's discipline — the detention-and-family bars); The CEDAW-and-the-CERD (the women-and-race faces of the displaced); The treaty-bodies' system: the reporting (the states' periodic reviews — the refugee practice's audit), the individual communications (the victims' access where the protocols permit), the inquiry procedures — the HR machinery's contribution: the protection without the refugee definition (the complementary protection's base — Unit 7.2). The character: the general machinery's refugee application — the floor's enforcement (the refugee-specific regime's gaps filled).
