*Universal Periodic Review

• The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a United Nations process which involves a review of the human rights records of all 193 United Nations Member States.
• Each nation must declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to fulfill their human rights obligations.  
• The ultimate aim of this mechanism is to improve the human rights situation in all countries and address human rights violations wherever they occur.
• Currently, no other universal mechanism of this kind exists.
• A review of each nation is based, in part, on Reports submitted by stakeholders including civil society actors, national human rights institutions and regional organizations.
