Info

Child Rights Information Network (CRIN) About the Universal Periodic Review dialogue takes place in a smooth and orderly manner. • Response by the State under review; • Adoption of report by the Working Group, including recommendations. Review Outcome The troika is responsible for preparing the report, which includes: • A summary of the proceedings of the review process; • The list of recommendations and / or conclusions; • Voluntary commitments made by the State. However, before the report is finalised, States may decide which recommendations they are in agreement with and which ones they are not. Recommendations that enjoy the support of the State will be identified as such. Other recommendations, together with the comments of the State concerned, will be noted. Both will be included in the outcome report to be adopted by the Council. Post-review Approximately four months after the State review, a final report is adopted during the Plenary Session of the Human Rights Council (HRC). States are presented with the opportunity to inform the Working Group of changes in their responses to recommendations issued in the Working Group's report. The Plenary Session of the HRC will spend half an hour adopting the final report. Follow-up Stage • The States are then supposed to implement the recommendations that arise from the review • Under Item 6, States have the opportunity to voluntarily update the Human Rights Council on their progress implementing the recommendations during a two hour slot as part of the Plenary Session. • Some States have started to produce voluntary mid-term reports updating the HRC on the measures they are taking to implement the recommendations put to them. Next UPR review Each State's second review will take place four years after the initial review. States will be questioned on the progress they have made in the four years since the first review, and measures taken to implement the recommendations and outcomes from the first UPR. Take a look at the time-frame for the United States review to assess how the process works: 7
