Suzanne Egan is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Harvard Law School Human Rights Programme. While she is based there she is conducting research on the Universal Periodic Review mechanism operated by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Ireland has recently undergone such a review. Suzanne is addressing the extent to which this mechanism complements or potentially undermines the pre-existing institutional architecture for the protection of human rights being carried out by the UN treaty bodies. A further line of analysis will be to examine the extent to which positive synergies might be developed between the two to enhance human rights protection at the national level.
