The reports of the United Nations Independent Expert on the Enjoyment of Human Rights by Persons with Albinism are official documents of the UN Human Rights Council, cited here as a series rather than a single dated volume, since the mandate was created in 2015 and has issued more than one report since. Its strength is that it is the UN's own official documentation of attacks, mutilation and killing driven by beliefs about the use of body parts in charms, gathered through the mandate's own country visits and submissions. Its limit is the ordinary one for any human rights reporting mechanism: it depends on cases being reported to it and cannot capture the full scale of unreported incidents.
