To Permanent Representatives of Member and Observer States of the UN Human Rights Council:

The Human Rights Council will consider the report and possible renewal of the mandate of the OHCHR examination of the human rights situation in Belarus at its 52nd session. We, the undersigned national, international and Belarusian civil society organisations, urge your delegation to seize the moment to establish an independent investigative mechanism to complement and follow-up on the work of the existing OHCHR examination.
