The Human Rights Committee performs a vital function in monitoring the implementation of the rights enshrined in the Covenant, which is a legally binding international treaty. In carrying out its task of reviewing State party reports, adopting general comments or examining complaints from individuals or States about alleged violations of the Covenant, the Committee is the primary interpreter of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. At the same time, he seeks to give a full and broad interpretation of the meaning of the provisions of the Covenant in accordance with its nature as an instrument guaranteeing fundamental rights and freedoms. The members of the Committee are not just engaged in reviewing official legislation in a particular country or in relation to a particular case, but are trying to understand more deeply the real situation in the States in which it analyzes and prepares such decisions that ensure positive changes. The implementation by a State of the Committee's views is evidence of the faithful fulfillment by that State of the obligations enshrined in the Covenant. Over the years, the work of the Committee has contributed to the implementation of numerous changes in legislation, policy and practice, both at the national level and in the context of individual cases. As a result, the Committee's performance of its oversight functions assigned to it under the Covenant has literally improved the lives of people in different parts of the world. It is in this spirit that the Committee will continue its efforts to ensure that its work is of practical importance and has an impact on all States parties, as well as to strive for the full realization of all civil and political rights guaranteed by the Covenant and without discrimination by all people.
