| Summary/Abstract |
Using the People's Republic of China as a case study, this paper will consider the extent to which the Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review process consolidates and reinforces the pre-existing treaty-monitoring system of the United Nations. Is universal periodic review simply more of the same (comments on a self-evaluation report submitted by the State, the rigor being erratic); or is the process something different, either more or less effective? Furthermore, is there evidence of consistency of practice within the UN itself? While the first full cycle of universal periodic review concludes late 2011, it is possible to draw tentative conclusions on the system at this stage.

| Summary/Abstract |
There are many interpretations of the rule of law. Transforming from a 'thin' to 'thicker' conceptualisation means infusing 'quality' and 'goodness' to the laws of the State. Accordingly, this centres attention on aspects of adherence to international human rights, the focus of this article. Drawing on the literature linking rule of law with human rights, a preliminary evaluation of the extent to which Commonwealth States appear to respect this 'thicker' rule of law will be provided. Reference will be made to a qualitative analysis of the comments and recommendations made to States during the first cycle of universal periodic review by the UN Human Rights Council as well as a number of pre-existing statistical data on specific issues. While the rigour of such an approach may be queried, there can be little doubt that although there is evidence of rule of law compliance within the States, there remains scope for improvement.
