Fiji Prepares for Major Human Rights Review in Geneva

Attorney-General Graham Leung will lead Fiji’s delegation to Geneva, Switzerland, where he will participate in an interactive dialogue regarding Fiji’s State Report during the 48th session of the Universal Periodic Review Working Group scheduled for January 2025. This follows the Cabinet’s approval of the submission of Fiji’s State Report to the Universal Working Group Secretariat. The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process, conducted by the UPR Working Group, is a member state-driven initiative that reviews each country’s human rights record every four to five years. Fiji’s last review by the UPR Working Group took place in November 2019. The fourth review of Fiji under the UPR mechanism will occur at the 48th session of the UPR Working Group in January 2025.
