Abstract

This article builds on previous research on the communicational practices of the United Nations human rights monitoring system (Wallace 2017). Treaties such as those responsible for women’s and children’s rights lack direct enforcement mechanisms, so interest falls on the means by which treaty monitoring committees can encourage state compliance. The proceedings are bookended by writing (state reports and committee concluding observations), the focus of my earlier research. However, there is also an oral component, invariably characterized by the committees (but less frequently by the states) as “constructive dialogue” where the objective is “to assist and not to judge.” I explicate the structure and practices of these proceedings and find much that is justifiable, given the communicational context, but also some potential for reconsideration.

“非常好的对话”?

本文建立在先前对联合国人权监测系统传播实践的研究基础上(Wallace 2017)。诸如那些负责妇女和儿童权利的条约缺乏直接的执行机制，因此人们的兴趣就落在条约监督委员会鼓励国家遵守条约的手段上。会议进程以书面形式结束(国家报告和委员会结论性意见)，这是我早期研究的重点。然而，也有一个口头部分，总是被委员会(但较少被国家)描述为“建设性对话”，其目标是“协助而不是判断”。我解释了这些程序的结构和实践，并发现其中许多是合理的，考虑到交流的背景，但也有一些重新考虑的可能性。

期刊介绍： In our post-Cartesian times human abilities are regarded as integrated and interacting abilities. Speaking, thinking, perceiving, having emotions need to be studied in interaction. Integration and interaction take place in dialogue. Scholars are called upon to go beyond reductive methods of abstraction and division and to take up the challenge of coming to terms with the complex whole. The conclusions drawn from reasoning about human behaviour in the humanities and social sciences have finally been proven by experiments in the natural sciences, especially neurology and sociobiology. What happens in the black box, can now, at least in part, be made visible. The journal intends to be an explicitly interdisciplinary journal reaching out to any discipline dealing with human abilities on the basis of consilience or the unity of knowledge. It is the challenge of post-Cartesian science to tackle the issue of how body, mind and language are interconnected and dialogically put to action. The journal invites papers which deal with ‘language and dialogue’ as an integrated whole in different languages and cultures and in different areas: everyday, institutional and literary, in theory and in practice, in business, in court, in the media, in politics and academia. In particular the humanities and social sciences are addressed: linguistics, literary studies, pragmatics, dialogue analysis, communication and cultural studies, applied linguistics, business studies, media studies, studies of language and the law, philosophy, psychology, cognitive sciences, sociology, anthropology and others. The journal Language and Dialogue is a peer reviewed journal and associated with the book series Dialogue Studies, edited by Edda Weigand.
