Universal Periodic Review
Youth Lawyer Training
28th January 2021
Global Magnistky Act
28th January 2021The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a new human rights mechanism of the Human Rights Council (HRC) created on March 15, 2006 by the UN General Assembly resolution 60/251.1
The UPR reviews the fulfilment by all 192 UN member States (or countries) on their human rights obligations and commitments, as well as their progress, challenges, and needs for improvement. Countries are reviewed every four years.
The UPR was created in response to criticism that previous UN mechanisms focused too much on certain regions. The UPR is designed to be applied more universally and uniformly.
The UPR is a peer review – based on the model used by the African Union. This is an innovative and cooperative mechanism based on an interactive dialogue between the country that is reviewed and any other UN country. During this interactive dialogue, the country under review presents its report, answers questions, and receives recommendations from other countries. The interactive dialogue is followed by the informal adoption of an ―outcome document‖ that includes all the recommendations made to the country under review. The outcome document is officially adopted at the next Human Rights Council regular session.
