These points of criticism do not detract from my earlier judgement that Mr. Van der
Wilt's book is interesting reading, both for those who know the ILO and for those who
want to make the acquaintance with it.

Both global and regional human rights treaties have established international institutions
offering recourse if a State party fails to comply with its obligations under the treaty. Due
to the growing number of complaints, these institutions have become increasingly
preoccupied with managing their workload. This volume focuses attention on one regional
and one global institution, i.e. the European Commission of Human Rights and the UN
Human Rights Committee. It examines the admissibility conditions by means of their
case-law and discusses possible changes which might reduce this caseload.
