Overall assessment on the implementation of UPR recommendations

Publication of a study on the implementation of 3’000 recommendations UPR Info is releasing an overall assessment on the implementation of 3’000 UPR recommendations at mid-term.

The publication "On the road to implementation" presents the results of the Follow-up Programme, which since 2011 compiles data from every stakeholder from countries that are going to be reviewed for a second time from January 2013 to May 2014 (UPR sessions 15 to 19), amounting to 66 States.

The results of this research, conducted over the course of one year and a half, are encouraging: 40 percent of recommendations have triggered actions from States. [...]

Regarding the second UPR cycle and the thirteenth UPR session, the States under review answered to 85 percent of recommendations received. 

The study presents the Follow-up Programme’s quantitative and qualitative outcomes, and perspectives and assessments on the thirteenth UPR session as well. Data collected under the aegis of the Follow-up Programme demonstrated very encouraging progress in implementing recommendations at mid-term; however, many challenges are acute and need to be carefully envisaged by the international community as soon as possible. »
