The Human Rights Council established the mandate of Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Belarus in 2012 by its resolution 20/13, and has since renewed the mandate annually. Each year the Special Rapporteur prepares and presents a report to the Human Rights Council entitled “Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Belarus”.
The report provides an update, summarizes and analyzes the main trends on the developments pertaining to human rights in the Republic of Belarus in the course of a specific year, contains a selection of cases brought to the attention of the UN special procedures, and puts forth recommendations to the Government and/or the international community. The decision to include cases is made on the basis of the principles of ‘do no harm’ and informed consent.
The Special Rapporteur invites States, United Nations entities, international organizations, NHRIs, civil society organizations, academics, networks, and other relevant stakeholders to share information, documents, statements or analysis pertaining to the objective of this report. When relevant and if available, please provide information or analysis that might provide links of these issues to specific human rights legislation, policies or programmes.
