Eesti esimene UPR ülevaatus toimus 2011. aastal, teine 2016. aastal. Aruanne tuleb esitada iga nelja ja poole aasta järel, ent üha enam riike on järgimas head tava ja esitab vahearuande perioodilise ülevaatuse käigus tehtud soovituste täitmisest/täitmise seisust. Eesti esitas esimese vahearuande 2014. aastal, teise 2018. aastal ning kolmas perioodilise ülevaatuse käigus tehtud soovituste täitmise vahearuanne on plaanis esitada 2023. aasta lõpus. ÜRO inimõiguste perioodilise ülevaatuse aruannete ja vahearuannete koostamist on juhtinud Välisministeerium, kaasates sellesse asjassepuutuvad ministeeriumid ning kodanikuühiskonna esindajad. Välisministeerium on alustanud 2021. aasta perioodilise ülevaatuse vahearuande koostamist. Oleme koondanud kirjale lisatud tabelisse kõik eelmise aruande arutelu ajal riikide tehtud soovitused (274). Tabelis on ära märgitud, kas Eesti on soovitust aktsepteerinud (192 soovitust) või võtnud teadmiseks (82). Ühtegi soovitust 2021. aastal tagasi ei lükatud. Tabelis on toodud välja soovituse täitmise ja teema eest vastutava(d) ministeeriumi(d). Välisministeerium palub, et ministeeriumid, vajadusel koos oma allasutustega, vaataksid üle nende pädevusse kuuluvate soovituste täitmise ja teeksid tabelisse märkuse, kas soovitus on täidetud või kas soovituse täitmiseks on astutud vajalikke samme ning millised meetmed on tarvitusele võetud ja milline on soovituse täitmise kavandatav ajagraafik. Teave peaks olema lühike ja konkreetne, et seda saaks esitada tabeli vormis, kuna põhjalikumalt ja sisulisemalt käsitletakse kõiki soovitusi juba 2026. aastal esitatavas Eesti neljandas aruandes. Palume ühtlasi tabelit täiendada, kui viited vastutavatele ministeeriumitele pole kohased, samuti palume vajadusel lisada allasutused, kes on soovituste täitmise eest vastutavad. Lisaks Islandi väljak 1 / 15049 Tallinn / +372 637 7000 / [email protected] / www.vm.ee / Registrikood 70002526 tabeli täiendamisele palub Välisministeerium lühikest ülevaadet ministeeriumi haldusalas riikide soovitusi puudutavate valdkondade edendamise arengust. Välisministeerium palub tagasisidet hiljemalt 09.11.2023. Välisministeerium täiendab tagasiside alusel tabelit ning koostab selle juurde lühiülevaate inimõiguste arengust soovituste valdkonnas. Seejärel saadetakse informatsioon arvamuse andmiseks kodanikuühiskonna esindajatele ja Õiguskantslerile. Lõplik vahearuanne edastatakse ministeeriumitele uuesti kooskõlastamiseks. Välisministeerium planeerib aruande ÜRO-le esitada 2023. a detsembris.
