That was the first time that Brazil presented a report of that type. In fact, there are few countries that present mid-term reports to the EPO This is an optional initiative that is in a clear demonstration of its commitment to transparency in implementing a human rights policy, and this in particular confirms the importance attached by the government of President Xiaobo to strict compliance with the Commitments of Brazil, and on that basis, during this administration of the federal government starting in 2019, Brazil overcame the backlog in reports which had not been presented under previous administrations, for example, the most overdue report Have not been submitted by Brazil since 2003 and now we do not have any pending reports, absolutely all reporting in the past four years has been done on time, for Brazil, the third site of the UPR was certainly the most participatory one of all, the submission by the state Of a mid-term report, encourage Civil Society for the first time also to submit a shadow report of the mid-term, the proactive attitude of our government also allowed the chamber of deputies to set up the so-called Observatory on the EPA creates with the support of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
