UPR INFO

UPR Info is a non-profit non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Geneva (Switzerland), aiming to promote human rights through the Universal Periodic Review (UPR)... The UPR is one of many entry points for UN engagement on human rights. As a peer-review process, UPR recommendations are issued by fellow States and complement or reiterate other recommendations issued by UN expert human rights bodies such as the Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures of the HRC and OHCHR. When put together, these three mechanisms are mutually reinforcing and complement one another to drive progress in the field of human rights... UPR Info follows a gender equality and human rights-based approach to achieve its mission. Through our programmes, we strive to bring a differentiated response to issues affecting women/girls, men/boys, vulnerable and marginalised groups.
