Amnesty International submits this briefing to the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Committee, in advance of the adoption of the List of Issues Prior to Reporting for South Africa’s second periodic report under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (‘the Covenant’). This submission is not an exhaustive account of Amnesty International’s concerns but highlights several of the organization’s key concerns in relation to the implementation of the Covenant in South Africa.
