AB Recent  reports  from  the  human  rights  committees  have  referred  to  Spain  in  relation  to  issues  such  as gender-based  violence,  access  to  housing,  expulsion  of  immigrants and historical  memory.  These  issues are  highly  topical  and  come  into  conflict with respect for basic human rights and people’s dignity. It is therefore   necessary   to   examine   closely   the   nature   and   relevance   of   these   bodies,   which   must   be understood  not  only  within  the  area  of  international  but  also  of  national  law,  which  is  where  they  have effect. There are surprisingly a small number of studies regarding human rights treaty-based bodies and the effectiveness   of   its   resolutions   in   domestic   law.   Nevertheless,   Human   Rights   Committees   recent jurisprudence is of special interest in the study of the development of International Human Rights Law.The monitoring system of human rights treaty-based bodies, frequently constituted as “committees”, will be analysed below. Originating as quasi-jurisdictional monitoring tools, these committees nonetheless play  a  highly  relevant  role  in  the  protection  of  fundamental  rights  in  most  States  that  make  up  the international community.
