In addition, applicants must commit to collaborate with UPR Info in the follow-up process by establishing action plans for the implementation of UPR recommendations within their area of expertise.

Note that the selection process is based on the information provided in the application form. Thus, UPR Info reserves the right, at any time, to refuse your participation in case of changes (e.g. speaker name, organisation name etc.).
