We have received a number of emails about our endorsement of submission to the UPR “Your Rights, Right Now” and due to our current capacity we are not in a position to reply to each one individually.

The front of the report specifies:

“This report is endorsed by a broad range of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), trade unions and civil society groups. All of the views expressed in the report do not necessarily reflect the policies and positions of each endorsing organisation.”

Friends of Londiani supported the submission on the basis that our endorsement is limited by this disclaimer.

FOL is a community development organisation and a full member of Dóchas. Our endorsement relates only to these components of the submission which fall within FOL’s areas of work.

The sections we endorse are included in the Dóchas submission to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review of Ireland at: http://www.dochas.ie/Shared/Files/2/Dochas_UPR_submission.pdf
