Making human rights recommendations work: A practical guide for civil society advocacy
Human rights recommendations have the greatest impact when communities actively use them to drive advocacy, accountability, and lasting change!
However, sometimes there is a gap between human rights recommendations and how we make them into practical solutions to improve advocacy at the country level. This webinar will help you gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of how to apply the UPR recommendations effectively in practice. It will also enable you to identify the support requirements necessary for implementation and subsequent advocacy efforts.
Whether you engage with the Universal Periodic Review, treaty bodies, Special Procedures, or other human rights mechanisms, this webinar will offer useful practical insights and strategies to strengthen your advocacy and community engagement efforts.
