All the information you need to know about our e-hub, online engagement guidelines, media, and content (a mix of video, activities, and text). And finally how to reach out for technical help, when need it.
This section will give you a course overview and objectives. Do you have questions about the course content? Here you will see how we will guide you. And finally how to meet your peers online in our discussion forums.
In this chapter, you will check your understanding of the UPR, and its mechanism, with a few interactions that include busting some myths about the UPR and checking your general knowledge. This is followed by some reading and then further interactions to reinforce and summarise your learning.
This chapter will focus on identifying the main phases of the UPR.
Many key people are involved in the UPR process. This chapter will give you an overview of the 8 main stakeholders to find out more about the part each play.
You will have here a summary of the main points of the mechanism.
In these three chapters, you will explore the transversal approaches that should be considered when engaging in the UPR process, throughout all its phases. Thus, through UPR lenses, you will learn how the human rights-based approach (HRBA), and gender-based analysis, are linked with the mechanism. And finally, the important synergies with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Besides the interactions and particular features of each approach, you will see the perspective of three different guest experts implementing the approach in their own fieldwork.
