Jean-Claude Vignoli[1] is the co-founder of UPR Info, a Geneva-based human rights NGO. UPR Info is the first NGO working on the Universal Periodic Review process. He is journalist and writes for Swiss newspapers such as Le Courrier[2], and Heidi.News.[3] He wrote a book titled Pour une poignée d'ivoire about his hunting of traffickers in animals in Ivory Coast.
He has been an international lecturer and trainer on the Universal Periodic Review, teaching to a various range of actors the Human Rights Council mechanism, such as academics in Venice.[4][5], government and NGO in Armenia[6], human rights defenders in Togo[7][8], in Geneva[9][10], and in Malawi.[11] He is the author of various studies assessing the success of on the UPR mechanism, which are scarce as regularly noted: "[...]empirical work assessing the extent to which UPR recommendations are implemented is scarce. Most of existing analyses have been carried out by the Geneva-based nongovernmental organization (NGO) UPR Info [...]"[12]. He found a methodology to assess thousands of UPR recommendations by consulting dozen of thousands actors on the ground. He wrote, co-wrote and published three studies "On the Road to implementation"[13], "Beyond promises: the impact of the UPR on the ground",[14] and "The Butterfly effect: spreading good practices of UPR Implementation",[15] totalling 12.000 recommendations. He is an expert on the Universal Periodic Review and was interviewed several time on this topic.[16][17][18]
He was Board member of the Green party in Geneva (from 2011 to 2012) and the initiator of the We Pay Our Interns initiative, the first intiative of its kind that aims to ensure interns are remunerated in Geneva[19]. He was Togo National Representative of EAGLE Network.
He is also a writer and published in 2023 "Pour une poignée d'ivoire", a book about his work as hunter of animal traffickers in Africa. [20] [21] [22] [23] [24].
