List of International Human Rights Treaties
There are nine core international human rights treaties, each established with a committee of experts to monitor implementation of the treaty provisions by its States parties. Some of the treaties are supplemented by optional protocols dealing with specific concerns. The treaties are:

- Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT, 1984),
- Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC, 1989),
- International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICRMW, 1990),
- International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance
