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 which consists of the review of the human rights practices all States in the world, once every four years.

You will find on this website: States, NGOs and OHCHR reports, summaries and compilations; summaries of every country’s review; reports of the Working Group; final outcomes with recommendations; webcasts of the UPR sessions; press statements by NGOs and analyses by UPR Info and other NGOs.

We are also working with NGOs to facilitate their participation in the process. If you wish to know more, see here.
