São Tomé and Príncipe

The Intersectoral Commission of Human Rights is Sao Tome's standing national mechanism. It coordinates and facilitates reporting and follow-up in relation to UN Special Procedures, UN Treaty Bodies, and the Universal Periodic Review, as well as to regional human rights mechanisms. Through these functions, the mechanism ensures that international human rights obligations are integrated into national processes and that recommendations are followed up in collaboration with relevant ministries, institutions, and stakeholders.
