Reflections on the 36th session of the UN Human Rights Council
DefendDefenders has worked to bring attention to the crisis in Burundi since we published a reportdocumenting the warning signs in February 2015. At the UN Human Rights Council (UN HRC), we have supported Burundian human rights defenders (HRDs) to attend each session since the outbreak of the crisis. These efforts contributed to the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry on Burundi (COI) that presented its findings during the 36th session of the UN HRC, concluding that there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed.
