CIVICUS' latest two interventions in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process of the UN Human Rights Council, which reviews countries' human rights progress, address the status of civil society freedoms in Israel and Serbia. CIVICUS raises a number of concerns regarding freedom of assembly and expression, the placing of legal and regulatory impediments on CSO activities, and the treatment of human rights defenders and LGBT activists. The submission on Serbia is made jointly with Serbian CSO Policy Center.
