  • UPR Info is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) headquartered in Switzerland. The organisation main goal is to raise awareness and provide see capacity-building tools to the different actors of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process, such as United Nations Member States, NGOs, National Human Rights Institutions (NHRI) and civil society actors. It was established in 2008. UPR Info organises "Pre-sessions" before actual UPRs. Over the years, the project Aupports civil society organisations taking part in the human rights advocacy platform.
