Summary/Abstract: The second cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) ended in 2016. It is a good moment to summarize and analyze achievements of this mechanism and to try to find out whether the mechanism fulfilled hopes vested in it. The UPR is facing many challenges, such as politicization, small amount of recommendation and coalitions between counties. Despite those issues, the Universal Periodic Review, as a controlling mechanism, has achieved a significant success – it is an universal mechanism under which all States agreed to evaluate level of protection of human rights on their territories. However, effectiveness of the UPR depends on attitude and commitment of States.
