How is the work done

With the support of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Special Procedures:

• undertake country visits,
• act on individual cases of alleged violations and concerns of a broader, structural nature by sending communications to States,
• conduct thematic studies and convene expert consultations, contributing to the development of international human rights standards,
• engage in advocacy and raise public awareness, and
• provide advice for technical cooperation.
