Spot on Universal Periodic Review - An Introduction

This introduction gives a description of the functioning of the Universal Periodic Review (URP) targeted at human rights professionals and activists.

Thus the focus is on the machinery and its main actors. Moreover, the Introduction aims to outline potentials as well as challenges and threats to the mechanism which is still in a formative stage of development.

The objective of Universal Periodic Review is to realize human rights. It covers all UN countries on an equal footing, based on dialogue among states and among states and civil society. This publication is for those – from government or state, civil society, etc. - who share this objective for their own country and/or internationally.
