Some States, like Norway and the Netherlands, have called for the sharing of good practices to eliminate caste discrimination in interactive dialogues of the HRC. Last year alone, 15 caste-specific recommendations were made during the reviews of India, the UK and Pakistan at the 13th and 14th UPR WG sessions. Nine Special Procedure mandate holders addressed the issue in their reports in 2012.4 Two examples are the mission report on India by the Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders on the need to protect Dalit rights activists, especially the plight of Dalit women (A/HRC/19/55/Add.1), and the thematic report by the Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation concerning the stigma and systematic exclusion that caste systems result in (A/HRC/21/42).
