Universal Periodic Review
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique process which involves a review of the human rights records of all UN Member States. The UPR is a State-driven process, under the auspices of the Human Rights Council, which provides the opportunity for each State to declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to fulfil their human rights obligations. Core documents for the current and previous cycles can be accessed at https://www.ohchr.org/en/HRBodies/UPR/Pages/BSindex.aspx.
