Special Rapporteur

A Special Rapporteur is an expert appointed by the United Nations to investigate and report on specific human rights issues or situations in different countries. They gather information, conduct research, and often visit countries to assess conditions firsthand. Their work aims to raise awareness, recommend solutions, and promote human rights standards globally. Although they do not have enforcement power, their findings can influence international policies and encourage governments to improve their human rights practices. Special Rapporteurs play a crucial role in holding states accountable and advocating for vulnerable populations.
