Society
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The 36th session of the UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Working Group is running virtually due to emergency measures introduced in world countries amid the outbreak of the pandemic. Mongolia’s human rights record is being discussed at the session for the third time.
The delegation of Mongolia is being headed by B.Baasandorj, State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs.
Mongolia's first ever report on human rights was reviewed in November 2010, and the second report was discussed in May 2015. Following the discussion of the second report, Mongolia committed itself to 150 recommendations out of 164 recommendations offered by 64 countries.
Human rights status of member states of the United Nations is reviewed every 4-5 years at the United Nations Council for Human Rights (UNCHR) and countries commit themselves to fulfill recommendations given from other member states.
The UPR Working Group is scheduled to adopt the recommendations made to Mongolia on November 6.
