At the USA’s UPR Pre-session 🇺🇳 the UN’s OHCHR advised that the USA will not be engaging with its upcoming Universal Periodic Review due to take place on 7th November 2025. This could have catastrophic consequences for the future of the UPR and we would encourage everyone to sign our Joint Statement⬇️

Will the United States attend their UPR pre-session this morning at the UN in Geneva? As they did not submit their National Report to the HRC, the prospects look bleak @uprinfo.bsky.social @dralicestorey.bsky.social
