COUNTRY & COMMUNITY DATABASE

Instructions & Table of Contents

The Tandem Project Country & Community Database collects information worldwide on United Nations Human Rights Bodies. We use the information for UN Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Reviews (UPR); UN Treaty-based Reports; UN Special Procedures, Special Rapporteur Reports.

Identify the Country where you reside and a Community. A Community may be a geographical location such as a village, neighborhood, city, region, state; or a community-of-interest such as a religion or belief, ethnic or cultural group or even the world community-at-large. You can identify both a geographical location and/or a community-of-interest. 

If you are not familiar with United Nations Human Rights Bodies, review by clicking on this link to the United Nations Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights Website, or go directly to the instructions for the table of contents:
