The International Service for Human Rights (ISHR) in Geneva has produced a summary of Swaziland's universal periodic review (UPR).
It notes that Swaziland claimed it was considering ratifying the Optional Protocol on the Convention Against Torture (HERE).
Key recommendations out of Swaziland's UPR include:
- Take immediate measures to ensure the independence of the judiciary.
- Ease legislative requirements regarding the registration of independent media.
- Allow for the registration and operation of political parties and ensure free, transparent, and regular elections.
The full summary can be read HERE.
For further information about removing the ban on political parties, see my blog HERE.
