New webinars: optimizing UPR other stakeholders reports
The deadline for stakeholder submissions for the 52nd UPR Working Group session is on 10th October, 2025.
UPR Info, organises two free webinars (in English and French) to provide civil society representatives with key information and guidance to submit "Other Stakeholders Reports" to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
These online sessions aim to share technical information, online tools, and good practices in the drafting and dissemination process of UPR reports.
Webinar in English: 8th September 2025 at 10:00 CET
Webinar in French: 9th September 2025 at 10:00 CET
The English webinar is organized with the participation of Equity Society Nepal (ESN).
The French webinar is organized with the participation of Conseil National des Femmes de Madagascar.
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 civil society actors, in particular to human rights defenders, CSOs and national human rights institutions from the States under Review during the 52nd UPR Working Group: Namibia, Niger, Mozambique, Estonia, Paraguay, Belgium, Denmark, Palau, Somalia, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, Latvia, Sierra Leone, and Singapore.
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.
