The UN Subcommittee is a branch of the National Lawyers Guild International Committee. Like the Guild of which it is a part, the UN Subcommittee stands on the principle that human rights are more sacred than property rights. The UN Subcommittee works to make US institutions and individuals abide by international human rights law embodied in the UN Charter, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT), and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Additionally, the UN Subcommittee supports the legal struggle for individual and environmental health, and fair trade and property laws.
