The document compares universal and regional human rights defense systems. At the universal level, structures include the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and UN treaty bodies. Regional systems have committees that focus on prevention of torture and protection of human rights in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Both levels have mechanisms to prevent violations and provide consultative bodies. They also focus on vulnerable groups and promote implementation of rights through monitoring and engagement with states. While the universal system provides international courts, regional systems adjudicate rights violations within their own courts. Both address emerging issues like technology and strive to adapt to contemporary challenges.
