The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) at the United Nations has created a database of country reports emanating from the United Nations human rights protection system. The Universal Human Rights Index (Index) is designed primarily to
facilitate access to human rights recommendations issued by three key
pillars of the
UN human rights protection system: the Treaty Bodies established under
international human rights treaties as well as the Special Procedures,
and the
Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the Human Rights Council.
The Index is the only on-line tool compiling recommendations from the
treaty bodies, the special procedures and the Universal Periodic Review. A unique feature of the Index is to enable the user to access and search
treaty body, special procedures and UPR recommendations through several
categories: State, right, body, affected person and, for the UPR, the
State(s) that made the recommendation, the position of the State under
Review,
and the session.
