UN Universal
Periodic Review (UPR)
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. As one of the main features of the Council, the UPR
is designed to ensure equal treatment for every country when their human rights
situations are assessed.
