This article attempts to provide an overall assessment of the current process of strengthening the human rights treaty body system in the light of the implementation of UN General Assembly Resolution 68/268 of 9 April 2014. While demonstrating the positive developments achieved so far, the authors examine the current challenges of the strengthening process, namely the controversial effects of the solution to the system’s under-resourcing, and the unification tendencies that aggravate the existing deficiencies in the treaty bodies’ work and pose new problems for the system’s effectiveness. Through such an examination as well as an analysis of the positions and proposals of the key stakeholders of the system and academics on the functioning of the current and future treaty body system, the authors forecast the potential outcomes of the 2020 UN General Assembly comprehensive review of the progress achieved since the adoption of Resolution 68/268. The article points to the two possible options for the future of the system: (1) the smooth fine-tuning of the resolution with prioritization being given by the treaty bodies to their activities followed by adequate support in the form of financial and human resources, (2) substantial structural changes in the system’s work through the decisions of the meetings of the States parties on amending the treaties. While arguing for the first option, the authors conclude that there is a need for a proper assessment of the current state of affairs in all segments of the system with due regard being given to the views of all stakeholders before reaching any decision on the need for further changes to be introduced in its work.

加强人权条约机构体系的进程：通往有效之路还是低效之路？

本文试图根据联合国大会 2014 年 4 月 9 日第 68/268 号决议的执行情况，对当前加强人权条约机构体系的进程进行全面评估。审查加强进程当前面临的挑战，即解决系统资源不足的解决方案的争议性影响，以及加剧条约机构工作中现有缺陷并给系统有效性带来新问题的统一趋势。通过这种审查以及对该系统主要利益攸关方和学术界关于当前和未来条约机构系统运作的立场和建议的分析，作者预测了 2020 年联合国大会全面审查自通过第 68/268 号决议以来取得的进展的潜在结果。该文章指出了该系统未来的两种可能选择：(1) 对决议进行顺利微调，条约机构对其活动给予优先排序，然后以财政和人力资源的形式提供足够的支持， (2) 通过缔约国会议关于修正条约的决定，该系统工作发生重大结构性变化。在争论第一个选项时，
