SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ALL CYCLES OF THE UNIVERSAL PERIODIC REVIEW BY THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, WHERE APPLICABLE TO THE STATE.

This is a procedural resolution (SCR 154), not a bill with binding policy changes. It expresses the Hawaii State Legislature's support for implementing recommendations from all four cycles of the United Nations Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process that apply to Hawaii. The resolution encourages state officials to align policies with these recommendations and promotes a "culture of human rights" based on UN principles. It has no legal effect and serves only as a symbolic statement - certified copies will be sent to UN officials and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
