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
