Summary
The main goal of international human rights law has been to protect individuals from human rights violations by state governments. However, international organizations have been likewise criticized for violating human rights, such as the UN Security Council for its blacklisting activities. Cornelia Janik has developed methodological approaches in order to establish that international organizations do have human rights obligations under international law as well.
