In this submission, Amnesty International evaluates the implementation of recommendations made to Burundi in its previous UPR, including on extrajudicial and unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, torture and other ill-treatment, arbitrary arrests, attacks against human rights defenders, and shrinking of civic space. It also assesses the national human rights framework regarding efforts to address cybercrimes, sexual and gender-based violence, past human rights violations through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the promotion and protection of human rights through the National Independent Human Rights Commission.
