Burundi: As risk factors multiply, it is imperative to extend the Special Rapporteur’s mandate

Ten years after the 2015 crisis, the human rights situation remains dire, with authorities continuing to silence dissent, restrict civic space, and target activists around election periods.

The Special Rapporteur’s work remains essential to monitor violations, keep Burundi on the Council’s agenda, and press for accountability and reform.
