UPR Info denounces the pratice of back-room negotiations of recommendations during UPR debate at the HRC

«On 21st September, in a joint statement with Conectas Direitos Humanos and the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies at the Human Rights Council (HRC), UPR Info denounced the practice of States negotiating the wording of recommendations made during the UPR. [...]

UPR Info criticised both States under Review and Recommending States which engage in trade-off concerning the wording of recommendations after they have been made during the review. [...]

Other issues of concern raised in the statement were the possibility for States under Review to draft the summary section of their own statement within the report of the UPR Working Group.»
