This Ambassadorial Dialogue will bring together ambassadors and senior delegates to exchange views, in a spirit of South-South cooperation, on how the UPR can serve as a practical mechanism for advancing the right to health and promoting global health equity. The dialogue will bridge work at the Human Rights Council and the World Health Organization, at a decisive moment for the Pandemic Agreement and equitable access to health products. The event will launch the South Centre Toolkit on Leveraging the UPR to Advance the Right to Health of Women and Girls, and present CeHDI’s Health and Rights Observatory, a digital platform for analysing UPR health outputs and tracking right to health commitments, both designed for direct use by delegations.
