New Webinar: Optimising UPR Other Stakeholders Reports
The deadline for stakeholders submissions for the 49th UPR Working Group session is on October 11th, 2024.
UPR Info organises a webinar to provide civil society representatives with key information and guidance to submit "Other Stakeholders Reports" to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
This online session aims to share technical information, online tools, and good practices in the drafting and dissemination process of UPR reports.
Date: Monday, August 26th
Time: 9 AM (CEST)
The webinar is organised with the participation of Human Rights Measurement Initiative.
Civil society organisations, NHRI and other associations are encouraged to submit a report on the human rights situation of their country. Upon submission, the OHCHR will compile all of the civil society reports into a single summary report.
By submitting an "Other Stakeholders Report," civil society can
Provide first-hand information and an analytical overview of the human rights situation in the State under Review
Suggest specific and action-oriented recommendations to States
This webinar is open to all the stakeholders, in particular to human rights defenders, CSOs and national human rights institutions from the States under Review during the 49th UPR Working Group (Kyrgyzstan, Kiribati, Guinea, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Spain, Lesotho, Kenya, Armenia, Guinea-Bissau, Sweden, Grenada, Turkey, Guyana, Kuwait).
The webinar will integrate the new guidelines published by the OHCHR, which reiterates the importance of focusing on the implementation of accepted recommendations and developments of the human rights situation in a State under review. Civil society is encouraged to include information on the follow-up of the previous review in their written contributions.
