WELCOME to UPR-info.org
UPR-info.org is the first website entirely dedicated to the Universal Periodic Review.
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a new mechanism of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which involves the review of all UN member-States (192), once every four years, on their human rights practices.
You will find on this website: States, NGOs and OHCHR reports; summaries of every country’s review; reports of the Working Group; webcasts of the UPR sessions and analyses to come.
We are also working with NGOs to facilitate their participation in the process. If you wish to know more, see here.
