On the road to implementation Promoting and strengthening the Universal Periodic Review http://www.upr-info.org The Follow-up Programme On the road to implementation @ Centre international de formation à l'enseignement des droits de l'homme et de la paix (CIFEDOP) 25 October 2012 www.upr-info.org

1. UPR Info aims to… Promote and strengthen the UPR by: Providing capacity-building tools Raising awareness

www.upr-info.org Tools: Website Explanations, Analyses Documents Tutorials

Tools: database

Tools: statistics

Challenges for the second cycle As SuR, how to handle 280 recommendations? As recom. State, how to follow up 21’353 recommendations, 139 rec. per rec. State? How to report on so many recommendations?

Challenges for the second cycle How to address rejected recommendation and « cases of persistant non-cooperation » (art. 38) ? How to improve the quality of recommendations (only 35 % specific) ? Encourage mid-term reporting, and… Follow up.

2. The Follow-up Programme Started in June 2011 Mid-term All stakeholders (NGOs, States, UN Agencies) Mid-term Implementation Assessments 3. Stakeholders: UNICEF, UNHCR, UNCT

Follow-up Programme - participation 66 countries 253 NGOs 6 NHRIs 7 States’ mid-term reports And now, some examples of best practices:

Follow-up Programme - results 6542 recommendations, 3294 recom-mendations commented 40% of recommendations are implemented at mid-term!

Follow-up Programme – results 2 Where the UPR is successful:

Follow-up Programme – results 3 Acceptance and its role

Follow-up Programme – results 3 Do not focus only on accepted recommendation: Remains valid, even if rejected Rejection could become a carte blanche Rejected recommendation are implemented! Remains a valid concern of the international community. The very same rejected recommendation could be suggested again in the next UPR; Has to be addressed, since some States rejected over half of recommendations. If we focus only on accepted recommendations, it would be a carte blanche for all States which will be encouraged to reject recommendations in order to avoid any kind of debate; Action is taken by States with 15 percent of rejected recommendations. It clearly shows that rejecting a recommendation sometimes is only a temporary response.

Follow-up Programme – results 4 What issues are raised the most at the UPR? (1)International Instr., (2) Women and (3)Child

Follow-up Programme – results 4 What are the most implemented issues?
