You can act now to sign the global petition in support of the Special Procedures.
“The Special Procedures give a voice to the voiceless victims of abuses.”
Kofi Annan, 19 June 2006
COHRE has joined with Amnesty International, the African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies, the Association for the Prevention of Torture, Forum Asia, Franciscans International, Human Rights Watch, the International Commission of Jurists, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the International Service for Human Rights and the World Organization against Torture (OMCT), to launch a global petition in support of the system of independent experts of the UN Human Rights Council, known as the Special Procedures. These are the special rapporteurs and representatives, independent experts and working groups created to monitor the situation of human rights in specific countries/territories, or the situation of specific human rights or groups in all parts of the world.
The petition was opened on 6 March 2007 on a dedicated site:
www.actforspecialprocedures.org and is running in four languages (Arabic, English, French and Spanish).
We encourage you to sign the petition and inform other individuals and organizations you believe would be interested in supporting this initiative.
