Abstract
This paper deals with the issue of activities of international committees for the protection of human rights, which are created by universal treaties for the protection of human rights, such as International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Convention Against Torture, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and other. The committees have jurisdiction to consider reports of the States Parties on the implementation of a relevant international treaty by which they were created. Also, the procedures of inter-state and individual communications are significant. Certain conditions of the admissibility of a communication, which are almost identical for every committee, should be fulfilled. Before initiating an international procedure State Party has the opportunity to remedy all the negative consequences that were caused by the violation of human rights and for that reason all available national legal remedies should be used. Also, the communications have to be compatible with the relevant convention, which means that individual has to address the right envisaged by the convention. In the procedures before a committee, the facts are investigated and the committee gives a decision or the opinion whether certain human rights had been violated. During the procedure interim measures could be ordered to prevent irreparable harm for the applicant. Decisions of the committees are not binding; however they influence a state to respect human rights of individuals in its jurisdiction. If the decisions were binding that would significantly contribute to the efficiency of the human rights protection before the committees. For that to happen, there should be explicit consent of the State Parties and the treaties, by which the committees are created, should be modified.
Highlights
Ovo je bila prva takva norma u međunarodnim ugovorima i poslužila je kao primer drugim međunarod nim pravnim instrumentima iz oblasti ljudskih prava, kao što su Fakultativni protokol uz Međunarodni pakt o građanskim i političkim pravima, Konvencija protiv torture i drugog okrutnog, nehumanog i ponižavajućeg postupanja ili ka žnjavanja i Fakultativni protokol uz Konvenciju o eliminisanju svih oblika diskri minacije žena
Naime, član 14 Konvencije o elimini sanju svih oblika rasne diskriminacije govori o pojedincima, ili grupama pojedi naca koji tvrde da su žrtve kršenja,[51] dok se u Fakultativnom protokolu uz Pakt o građanskim i političkim pravima i Konvenciji protiv torture govori samo o poje dincima

Summary
Komitet neće razmatrati nijednu predstavku ako se isto pitanje već razmatra u postupku pred nekim drugim međunarodnim organom za ispitivanje ili rešavanje, ako pojedinac nije iscrpeo sva raspoloživa unutrašnja pravna sredstva, ako pred stavka predstavlja zloupotrebu prava na podnošenje takvih predstavki ili ukoliko je ona nespojiva sa odredbama Pakta.[20]
