In view of the 2020 United Nations (UN) Treaty Body (TB) Review recommendations, we are conducting a series of pilot follow-up reviews (previously called focused reviews), carried out at the national level between the TBs reporting cycles. These reviews are designed to discuss how countries implement specific recommendations issued by UN TBs, bringing, in such a way, UN TBs closer to the regional and national levels – and ultimately closing the implementation gap.
Our pilots aim at testing this new format. Two pilot reviews have been carried out in Sierra Leone and Grenada and will be followed by a third pilot follow-up review in the Pacific region.
