| Description |
|
This handbook for civil society aims to provide an explanation of the United Nations organisational system on human rights and the mechanism for civil society to engage and contribute effectively to its work. The handbook introduces the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights with resources that are relevant for civil society organisations. It explains the structure and operation of the UN human rights system accessible for civil society to collaborate with, including Treaty Bodies, the Human Rights Council, Special Procedures, Universal Periodical Review, and channels for communications and reporting of human rights violations. The handbook also lists funding and grant schemes to build the capacity of civil society organisations to work with the UN bodies on human rights. |
