Speaking at the UN Human Rights Council today, Amnesty International welcomed South Sudan’s support for 210 out of 246 recommendations made during its third Universal Periodic Review (UPR). Nevertheless, Amnesty International regretted that South Sudan has not implemented its commitment from its first review to develop a human rights agenda and action plan and urged South Sudan to do so without delay.
On 2 February 2022, Amnesty International and partners offered the government recommendations for ten human rights priorities that, at a minimum, should feature in such an agenda.
