| - 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. UPR Info has released publications about the implementation of the Universal Periodic Review recommendation, such as in 2014, "Beyond promises: the impact of the UPR on the ground", and in 2016 "The Butterfly effect: spreading good practices of UPR Implementation", widely praised by NGOs, States and institutions. The material produced by the organisation, in particular its database that includes over 55,000 UPR recommendations, has been used by several scholars to document the UPR mechanism. UPR Info launched in 2016, together with CCPR Centre, DOCIP, Huridocs, and Save the Children, an initiative called "We Pay Our Interns" to promote a basic stipend for internships in Geneva. (en)
