The upcoming session marks two years since a group of 32 states delivered a joint statement on Egypt at the UN Human Rights Council (the Council), addressing the human rights crisis in the country. Since that time, no consequential follow-up has occurred at the Council, despite the fact the human rights situation in Egypt has further deteriorated. UN experts have expressed concern over the heightened risk of reprisals to dissidents and human rights defenders as the world’s spotlight shifts away from the country after COP27.
