Australia's Position

The Australian Government has established a Standing National Human Rights Mechanism to strengthen its overall engagement with United Nations human rights reporting and to improve consideration of recommendations made during reporting processes.

Two functions set out in the Terms of Reference for the Standing Mechanism are:

  • responding to/follow-up on recommendations and concluding observations arising from United Nations human rights mechanisms,
  • management of Australia's UPR monitoring process, including through the UPR monitoring website which was established in December 2017.
