UPR 26/1/2026

08/12/2025

Australia’s National Report for the 2026 UPR omits two binding obligations: Additional Protocol I (civilian protection) and Toxic Remnants of War (TRW). These are core IHL duties, repeatedly raised by UN bodies, yet they do not appear anywhere in the document.

I’ve also quote-tweeted this directly to Australia’s Ambassador in Geneva, DFAT, and the Mission — so the full Defence Thread is now formally before them and 33 countries & UN missions.
