Featured Work

Bringing civil society perspectives into international human rights review

Solidarity & Unity contributes to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process through independent research and civil society stakeholder submissions.

Our work examines the implementation of international human rights commitments and identifies gaps between legal protections, public policies and experiences on the ground. Particular attention is given to the rights and experiences of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and other vulnerable communities.

From evidence to international advocacy.
