SUMMARY:Workshop on Enhancing Civil Society Contributions to Libya’s Fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Cycle
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Libya\, the Rule of Law & Human Rights Section of UNSMIL/OHCHR (UNSMIL HRS)\, UN Women\, and No Peace Without Justice (NPWJ)\, with the generous support of the European Union and the Italian Government\, are organizing a workshop on Enhancing Civil Society Contributions to Libya’s Fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Cycle (Nov. 2025). The workshop will take place from 24 to 26 February 2025 in Tunis\, Tunisia. \n\nThe workshop is building on previous efforts and in response to requests from CSAs\, aiming at strengthening their capacity to engage with the UPR and other international human rights mechanisms\, ensuring that UPR reports are aligned with international guidance\, gender mainstreamed\, and submitted on time\, fostering network and coalition-building among Libyan CSAs. They further will develop a concrete action plan to prepare four thematic parallel reports with one on migrants and asylum seekers\, one on freedom of assembly and expression\, one on arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance\, and one on women’s rights. The workshop will also support advocacy efforts\, including a briefing by workshop participants to the international community. \n\nAs part of this initiative\, a dedicated session is organized on 26 February for the International Community and Member States to explore ways to support the Libyan UPR 2025 process. This session aims at facilitating an exchange between national civil society actors (CSAs) and embassies in Libya by creating sustainable links between national CSAs and Member States\, prior to the review in Geneva in November 2025. The meeting will provide evidence of implementation\, especially on the recommendations made by Member States during the last UPR in 2020. \n\nConcept noted agenda of the workshop\n\nFor further information\, please contact Frej Fenniche\, MENA Regional Representative (ffenniche@npwj.org)
