UPR (Universal Periodic Review)
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a process by which the United Nations assesses each country's human rights record every four years. It involves governments reviewing their own and others’ progress in protecting rights like freedom of speech, equality, and justice. Countries receive recommendations for improvement and commit to addressing issues raised. The goal is to promote accountability, encourage positive change, and ensure that all nations uphold fundamental human rights universally, fostering transparency and cooperation among nations.
