In the statement, delivered by Ms. Aditi Patil, Research Officer with our International Advocacy and Programming (IAP) team, CHRI expressed concerns over the deterioration of human rights in Commonwealth countries, and brought to the Council’s attention the trend of legislative measures being used to suppress free expression, and clamp civic space as well as other some troubling developments.
