Join the Universal
Periodic Review third session live from 1-12 December 2008 on the U.N. Human
Rights Council Web Cast or Archives for third session National Reports. U.N.
Member States reports are not always given in the order posted by the U.N.
Human Rights Council. You can go to the Archives at any time during the third
session to listen and view the Member States reports and make your comments on
the C&C Database.
Many U.N. Member States
National Reports do not include enough information on Article 18 of the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the 1981 U.N.
Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of
Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, for follow-up of Universal Periodic
Reports.
This is an opportunity to
listen and watch the live and archived web cast of the National Reports and
inter-active dialogue with U.N. Member States. Read the U.S. State Department
International Religious Freedom Reports on each country and make known your thoughts
on the Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief by response to an article,
paragraph or term in the C&C Database.

The Universal Periodic
Review is a process before a final UPR review is adopted by the U.N. Human
Rights Council. There is a two week period for the State to respond after the
adoption by the U.N. Human Rights Council. We will post the final review after the
two week adoption period and it is posted under Countries on the Office of High
Commissioner for Human Rights web site.
