UN members have committed to undergo a voluntary assessment of their human rights standards and practices every five years.

In our report Critical Voices, Chapter 6 details this innovative UN human rights procedure known as the Universal Periodic Review.

The Universal Periodic Review grants states the opportunity to give recommendations to their counterparts undergoing review.

To date, Member States have accepted 60,000 out of 80,000 recommendations.

The database they have created, provides an overview of a little more than 1,200 accepted recommendations
that specifically address media freedom, scientific freedom and artistic freedom.
