Special Procedures (United Nations)

Special Procedures are independent experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council to address specific human rights issues or situations worldwide. They investigate, monitor, and report on violations, provide advice to governments, and promote best practices. Their role is to ensure accountability and raise awareness, often focusing on issues like torture, freedom of expression, or the rights of vulnerable groups. These experts work voluntarily and operate across borders to support the protection and promotion of human rights globally, fostering dialogue and encouraging improvements in national practices.
