Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Each country undergoing the
process submits a review of their human rights situation. FI,
with other NGOs, submits a report in which issues of injustice,
possibly not mentioned by the government in question, are tabled
for consideration. Franciscans working in the country provide
accurate information on these issues. FI then lobbies other
governments to ask questions and make recommendations to the
country under review which in turn has to commit to implement
these changes withing a certain time frame. FI then works with
the Franciscan in-country to monitor the government's
implementation of the recommendations in order to ensure they
are fulfilled.
