The Senior Human Rights Adviser works with the UN Country Team (UNCT) to integrate human rights into their programmes and activities; undertakes human rights assessments; provides technical advice to national institutions; and conducts human rights capacity-building for a range of governmental and non-governmental actors.
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique process which involves a review of the human rights records of all UN Member States. The UPR is a State-driven process, under the auspices of the Human Rights Council, which provides the opportunity for each State to declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to fulfil their human rights obligations.
