Video Reports

Submitting video reports before a UN treaty body, Special Rapporteur or Working Group: Video reports for the UN or other inter-governmental bodies can be structured in different ways: as a documentary on the particular issue being addressed; as a complement to a shadow report submitted to an UN treaty oversight committee; as direct, unedited testimonials by victims of a violation; as raw unedited footage of an actual violation or event. In most cases you will want to provide the material in tandem with written documentation and submissions, and to link the video content directly to the submission. Bear in mind that opting for this approach will require that you organize screenings of your video report along with question and answer periods that can properly inform the UN treaty body or other intergovernmental body viewing your piece.
