Human Rights Council Elections 2025: discussions of candidate States’ visions for membership

In advance of the Human Rights Council elections that will take place this autumn for the membership term 2026-2028, Amnesty International and the International Service for Human Rights will hold an online pledging event for candidate States on 4 September 2025.

Location: ONLINE
Date:

The event intends to give candidates an opportunity to present their visions for Council membership and to respond to questions from a range of stakeholders on how they propose to realise the pledges and commitments they may have made in seeking election.

State representatives, civil society, national human rights institutions (NHRIs) and other key stakeholders are invited to participate actively in the event and pose questions to candidate States.

Information about candidate States will be added here once available.
