Human Rights Reporting / Followup

In many countries, there is access to a variety of national human rights mechanisms or organizations engaged in reporting and follow-up on human rights issues.

Many of these have connections to ongoing reporting in different UN bodies (for details see https://www.un.org/eb/sections/what-we-do/protect-human-rights/index-html)

These include organizations such as the following:

  • Civil Society Human Rights organizations engaged in monitoring, advocacy, reporting and followup in relation to state compliance with human rights obligations
  • National Preventative Mechanisms established under the Optional Protocol on Prevention of Torture (OPCAT)
  • National Institutions for Human Rights or Ombudsman offices, as independent entities with a mandate to promote human rights at the national level and to submit recommendations to the national government.
  • National Mechanisms for reporting the followup of human rights respect and implementation. These are government structures.
  • National Institutions to report discrimination
