UN Human Rights Council relies on civil society voices
Original: The UN’s Human Rights Council depends on civil society participation
The UN Human Rights Council depends heavily on civil society participation to carry out its work, according to a commentary published by Democracy Without Borders. The piece underscores that NGOs, activists and independent organisations provide documentation, testimony and expertise the Council cannot easily obtain from states alone, and warns that restricting their access would weaken international human rights oversight.
Why now: Ongoing debates about NGO access and the Council's effectiveness have put civil society's role at the UN back in focus.
