(UPR). SUHAKAM took an active role in holding pre-UPR consultations and briefing
sessions with government agencies, diplomatic corps, civil society and the media in
Malaysia. In carrying out its role as an advisory body to the government, SUHAKAM
submitted its recommendations for UPR to the Human Rights Council in March. SUHAKAM
Commissioners and officers attended the review session in Geneva, during which
Malaysia received a total of 268 recommendations.
SUHAKAM has come a long way since its founding. It has made huge strides in improving
the human rights situation in Malaysia, always working with the Government, ministries,
CSOs and activists to further its goals. SUHAKAM will continue to carry out its work
diligently and purposefully to achieve its vision of a “Malaysian society where human
rights are fully respected, protected and enjoyed equally by all” in the not too distant
future.
