Transforming universal norms into local reality

International human rights mechanisms

As part of the ongoing efforts to connect the international and the national, URG has worked with UNICEF, UNFPA, and UNEP to track and measure the implementation of UPR, Treaty Body and Special Procedures recommendations on children’s rights, the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment (R2HE), and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) respectively, gathering good practices on UN Country Teams support for States. URG has also led in the development of National Mechanisms for Implementation, Reporting and Follow-up (NMIRFs) as a way to ensure the national impact of the UN human rights system.
