About the human rights tracker

The human rights tracker is a searchable online tool that gives an overview of action the UK and Welsh governments have taken to carry out the United Nation’s (UN’s) recommendations.

The tracker contains all of the most recent recommendations made to the UK by the UN treaty bodies and the Universal Periodic Review (UPR). The recommendations are written in simpler language to make them more accessible, but the original wording is provided alongside this.

It allows you to search by UK and Wales so you can see which government is responsible for implementing the recommendations. The recommendations are also linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The tracker has dedicated pages on each of the UN human rights treaties the UK has agreed to follow, and on the UPR process. On these pages you’ll find useful resources, including which stage we are at in each of the reporting cycles.
