DESCRIPTION

In preparation for the Universal Periodic Review on human rights in the state of the U.S., this discussion event includes tables on human trafficking and pornography as public health crises, and can include additional human rights issues such as climate.

What is the Universal Periodic Review (UPR)?
In May 2020, the U.S. will undergo a Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of its domestic human rights record at the UN Human Rights Council. In other words, the Human Rights Council is going to take a long, hard look at the human rights situation here in the U.S. Feedback gathered from participating chapters will be shared with the United Nations.
