COMMENT The UN Human Rights Council provides a good assessment of Malaysia’s standing through the Universal Periodical Review (UPR), based on global benchmarks and instruments.

Now that the second UPR cycle has ended in Geneva, what are the key human rights priorities for Malaysia? What is the time frame so that Malaysia has a better standing at the third cycle in 2018?

These were among issues raised at a discussion yesterday on ‘Human Rights Priorities for Malaysia’, hosted by Proham and the Global Movement of Moderates.
