Since it started functioning in 2008, not only have all states been under review for two cycles now, but they have actively participated in interactive dialogues making over 55,000 recommendations on a number of different human rights issues. A decade after its first session, an assessment of this unique mechanism becomes more relevant than ever. This chapter examines the principles and practices on key features of the UPR, such as universality, equal treatment, the peer-to-peer element, international cooperation and dialogue. It argues that the interplay of these characteristics turns the UPR into a distinctive horizontal pathway to impact, which is unique in the international human rights regime.","PeriodicalId":422936,"journal":{"name":"Contesting Human Rights","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123925489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this project, we identify fundamental changes in pathways to the realization of rights and the quest for human dignity. The volume will interrogate the decline of democracy as a guarantee and now often a threat to rights; widening issues of translation and domestication of the international regime; and the decline of a consensus on the ethos of cosmopolitan universalism that may foster backlash – but also seems to spark dialectical debates on inclusion and solidarity.
