What is a UPR Consultation Report?

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a peer-review process conducted by the UN Human Rights Council every five years, assessing the human rights record of every UN member state. This process results in formal recommendations to help each country strengthen its commitment to international human rights standards.
