41st Session of the Universal Periodic Review: India

The co-submitting organisations have developed this submission in close collaboration with Indian partner organisations that work on the right to nationality, the rights of stateless people and refugees, and related issues. However, after careful consideration of the growing risks faced by our Indian partner organisations, we collectively decided that they would not be named as co-submitters. This decision, solely for the purpose of
mitigating risks, is indicative of the extent to which civil society space has deteriorated in India, particularly for those who work to hold the Indian government to account on politically charged issues such as the right to nationality and the rights of stateless people and refugees.
