The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) was created by the General Assembly in 2006. It is a unique, State-driven peer review mechanism whereby the human rights record of all States is reviewed every four and a half years, on equal footing, by fellow States during an inter-governmental Human Rights Council Working Group session in Geneva.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, it set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.
