The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique mechanism of the Human Rights Council that calls for each UN Member State to undergo a peer review of its human rights records every 4.5 years. The UPR provides each State the opportunity to regularly:
Report on the actions it has taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to overcome challenges to the enjoyment of human rights; and
Receive recommendations – informed by multi-stakeholder input and pre-session reports – from UN Member States for continuous improvement.
Established in March 2006 by the UN General Assembly in resolution 60/251, the UPR is designed to prompt, support, and expand the promotion and protection of human rights in every country.
Since the first periodic review in 2008, all 193 UN Member States have been reviewed three times. The fourth review cycle began in November 2022 at the 41st session of the UPR Working Group.
