United Nations: 47 NGOs Call Upon UN Member States to Focus on Quality of Recommendations During Universal Periodic Review
On 20 March 2015, UPR Info and a group of 46 NGOs, including Alkarama, called upon UN Member States to focus on the quality and not the quantity of recommendations issued during the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), which should be stronger and more specific.
"As the third cycle of the UPR is due to start in 2017, States are repeatedly calling for a decrease in the number of recommendations, claiming that a too high number of recommendations undermine their effective implementation," says Rachid Mesli, Legal Director at Alkarama. "On the contrary, we argue that weak and vague recommendations are the issue. What really undermines the promotion of human rights is the sole acceptance by some states of the least binding recommendations."
