Third Party Interventions (TPIs) provide useful information for those dealing with human rights cases (judicial or quasi-judicial mechanisms) that helps them reach legally-sound decisions. TPIs can have a significant impact on process, resulting in just outcomes and the advancement of international human rights law. Current and former members of the United Nations Human Rights Treaty Bodies (UNTBs) have acknowledged the extent to which TPIs can be helpful, particularly on subjects where limited jurisprudence exists, and for legal matters that could benefit from additional context, research, and analysis.

This ISHR guide seeks to demystify and democratise the TPI procedure and thus widen the circle of those who can make use of it. It aims to do so by providing practical tools and tips on how to submit TPIs to the UNTBs.
