EHRC call for participation in Universal Periodic Review

7 November 2011

In order to improve human rights across the globe, the UN Human Rights Council holds a public examination every four years to examine where governments are doing well and how they can improve.

The UPR takes place in Geneva in June 2012. It is a chance for individuals and organisations in Britain to tell the world how the government is doing on human rights and how it can improve everyone's enjoyment of rights, every day.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published information on how the UPR works, how to participate in the Commission's activities on the UPR, and how to submit views directly to the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (the closing date is 21 November 2011).
