UN Special Rapporteur

A UN Special Rapporteur is an independent expert appointed by the United Nations to investigate, report, and advise on specific human rights issues or situations in various countries. They analyze information, visit countries, and engage with governments and civil society to assess human rights conditions. Their findings are presented in reports to the UN Human Rights Council, aiming to raise awareness and promote accountability. Special Rapporteurs operate without financial compensation and play a crucial role in highlighting and addressing human rights violations globally, helping to guide international policy and support affected individuals and communities.
