Documentation for States

States are the driving force behind the UPR. It is key that States fully understand their roles, be that as a State under Review, a Recommending State, or a member of the Troika.

UPR Info works to make the UPR easily accessible to State parties and through these tabs you can find useful documents for States at the UPR.
