Australia's Position

Australia has submitted all overdue reports. Australia has established a Standing National Human Rights Mechanism to strengthen its overall engagement with United Nations human rights reporting.

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 this UPR monitoring website which was established in December 2017.
