The Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (GCRP) released a set of recommendations ahead of the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council. The document urges the Council to prioritize mechanisms that hold perpetrators of human rights violations accountable, strengthen independent investigations, and ensure reparations for victims.

Key points include the establishment of a binding international truth‑and‑reconciliation commission, mandatory reporting on the progress of justice reforms by member states, and the creation of a dedicated fund to support post‑conflict recovery. The GCRP stresses that these measures must be grounded in the principles of sovereignty, reparations, and the right to truth.

By aligning the Council’s agenda with concrete accountability tools, the GCRP aims to transform rhetoric into action, ensuring that justice is not merely aspirational but systematically enforced.
