Dear all,

I am writing to share a guide to the UN's Universal Periodic Review (UPR),
aimed specifically at human rights defenders working to advance human
rights online, co-authored by Deborah Brown (APC) and myself.

The guide provides examples of how the UPR has been used for human rights
online, including examples of recommendations that states have accepted
relating to the internet, sample civil society reports, advocacy documents,
and tips on how to use the UPR to complement ongoing advocacy work.

*You can find an introductory piece here*:

*The link for the guide is here:*

We hope it will function as a useful introduction to the mechanism and an
orientation tool for successful advocacy, as the UPR enters its third cycle
next year. Please feel free to share and any feedback is of course welcome!

Best,
--
