At the UPR Info pre-sessions these participants have the opportunity to share the human rights situation in a State, before it’s examination under the Universal Periodic Review at the UN Human Rights Council. The United Nation’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is the only human rights global mechanism scrutinising all the human rights record of all States.
