人権のオリンピック 
2クールめのUPR(普遍的定期的審査)の予備審査始まる!
日本政府の予備審査は8月30日!
 
 2008年4月7日からスタートしたUPR(普遍的定期的)審査は、国連加盟国193か国すべて4年に1度各国の人権状況を国家同士で審査する制度です。
 
 すでに、1クール目が終了しており、14会期のワーキンググループ(本審査:10月22日~11月1日:日本政府審査は31日)の予備審査が、8月27日から5日間ジュネーブで行われ、日本政府の審査は30日に1時間(12時~13時)行われる予定です。
 言論・表現の自由を守る会:Japanese Association for the Right to Freedom of Speech も全日程参加します。また、日本の予備審査の際には、当会として、日本においては政府を批判するビラの配布が犯罪だとされ最高裁でも有罪の不当判決で重大な人権侵害が続いており、未だ日本の参政権が確立しておらず、人権鎖国状態ともいうべき状態で、3・11後ファシズムの嵐が吹き荒れている事態を告発します。
 
 日本政府の予備審査では7NGOが参加・発言し、予備審査に参加した各政府の審査担当者からNGOに対する質疑応答も行われ、現地にて記者会見も予定されています。

Pre-sessions


UPR Info organises Pre-sessions in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss the human rights situation of States two months prior to their review by the Working Group.
The purpose of these pre-sessions is to save time and resources to civil society organisations (CSOs) and to enable them to meet several delegations at once. For delegations, these meetings offer them the opportunity to be briefed by CSOs about the human rights situation in the State under Review (SuR).
The pre-session for each SuR lasts one hour. The National human rights institution and CSOs are given between 5 to 10 minutes each, depending on the number of participants, to share their assessment of the human rights situation in the country since the previous review and the progress accomplished by the SuR to implement the recommendations.
All permanent missions, including the State under Review, are invited and are given ten minutes at the end to ask questions to CSOs.
The first pre-sessions were held form 29 March to 4th April for States to be reviewed at the 13th session of the UPR Working Group from 21st May to 4th June: Algeria, Bahrain, Brazil, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Morocco, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom. Read a summary here.
 
The pre-sessions for the 14th Working Group session (22 October - 5 November 2012) will take place from 27 to 31 of August in 1 rue de Varemb?, Geneva.
 
Wednesday 29 August:

The exact time and order of discussion within each day is subject to change. Please check our website closer to the date for the final timetable.
In order to ensure the smooth organisation of those pre-sessions, Permanent missions are kindly asked to let us know which pre-session they are planning to attend.
The pre-sessions are organised thanks to the support of the Canton of Geneva, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland and IrishAid.
