The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is an international human rights mechanism established by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly resolution 60/251 and elaborated in Human Rights Council resolution 5/1.  It serves as a platform to review the human rights records of all UN Member States, where they can declare what actions have been adopted and how these measures could improve the human rights situations in order to fulfil their legal obligations.
