Database of country-specific human rights information, provided by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, originally developed at the University of Bern. The Index brings together recommendations, reports, concluding observations from the different parts of the UN human rights protection system: the Treaty Bodies, the Special Procedures and the Universal Periodic Review (UPR). The Advanced Search facility allows users to search by State, human right, body, affected person and so on; for UPR information, it is also possible to search by the state or states who made the recommendation and other criteria. The Index can be searched in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish, and, where possible, the documents retrieved are converted automatically into the same language (all documents are available in English).
