This submission was prepared for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Mongolia in November 2020. In it, Amnesty International evaluates the implementation of recommendations made to Mongolia in its previous UPR, including in relation to the death penalty, torture and other ill-treatment and ratification of human rights treaties. It also assesses the national human rights framework with regard to independence of the judiciary. With regard to the human rights situation on the ground, Amnesty International raises concern about torture and other ill-treatment, human rights defenders, arbitrary detention, the right to housing and other economic, social and cultural rights.
