"Universal Periodic Review: Successful examples of child rights advocacy" provides valuable insights for children's rights advocates wanting to engage in the UPR process and more generally in children's rights monitoring and advocacy.
This document includes eight case studes (Nepal, Philippines, Pakistan, Republic of Korea, Peru, Zambia, Bangladesh and Mali,) which give good practices examples of Save the Children’s engagement in UPR reporting and advocacy. It sheds light on the different strategies used to push forward children's rights priorities to influence UPR recommendations. It also provides some pointers on how the UPR recommendations can reinforce existing advocacy efforts and be integrated into follow-up plans to track their implementation. Key success factors and lessons learned were drawn to capitalise on the experience from these countries over the last six years, and inspire others to replicate these approaches in order to maximise advocacy outcomes and impact for children.
