Share this article

Please see the following information from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC):

We are offering funding for representatives of civil society organisations in Great Britain to provide in-person evidence to the UN Human Rights Committee at its 140th session in Geneva on 11 March 2024.
This travel grant will enable human rights experts to participate in the Human Rights Committee’s examination of the UK’s compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
This is a valuable opportunity for the successful applicant(s) to share evidence directly with the UN Human Rights Committee on the UK’s record on civil and political rights, to inform the Committee’s report and recommendations.
We are seeking applications from those who can, amongst other things:
  • Show they have provided an evidence-based written submission on the UK’s compliance with the ICCPR to the Human Rights Committee by the UN deadline of 5 February 2024.
  • Provide evidence they have registered with the Human Rights Committee Secretariat to participate in the session by the UN deadline of 16 February. Details are on the UN website.
  • Provide evidence that the applicant represents a single UK registered legal entity, such as a company or charity.
We are looking for applicants who will:
  • Enhance the diversity of representation of individuals with one or more protected characteristics.
  • Enable the participation of individuals with lived experience relevant to the Human Rights Committee’s 140th session.
  • Enable the participation of organisations which would otherwise be unable to attend.

Deadline: Applications must be received by 5pm on Wednesday 14 February 2024.
