Universal Periodic Review: The Status of Children's Rights - CRIN

3 CRIN's Children's Rights References Reports
CRIN has compiled a report on every State reviewed in the UPR up to the 9 th session 4 , extracting references to
children's rights throughout the UPR process for each country. This chapter outlines the structure of these reports.
Examples of CRIN's reports and a link to all reports for Sessions 1 – 9 of the UPR, can be found at the end of this
section.
Structure of reports
Children's rights references have been extracted from the following sections:
Reports submitted to OHCHR prior to the review:
• State under Review
• UN Compilation
• NGO Compilation
Reports compiled by OHCHR detailing the outcomes of the review:
• Interactive Dialogue (between UN Member States and the State under Review)
• Final Recommendations (made by fellow States to the State under Review)
As explained in the introduction, a key aspect of the UPR lies in the requirement of States to inform the Council of their
position on the recommendations made to them. In the final recommendations section of CRIN's reports, sub-headings
clearly indicate the State under Review's response to the recommendations.
The three sections include:
• 'Accepted' Recommendations
• 'Pending' / 'No clear position taken' Recommendations
• 'Rejected' Recommendations
4 The outcome reports (including the responses to recommendations) for the 9 th Session will be released by OHCHR in due course
and added to the CRIN site.
