Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez Verson, speaks at the General Debate on agenda item 6 “Universal Periodic Review”. 58th Human Rights Council.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) demonstrates that no nation is free from challenges, nor can it claim to be a paradigm. No one has the authority to use human rights as a pretext to stigmatise other states. The UPR also shows that there can be no one-size-fits-all models. It provides a necessary space for states to dialogue, share experiences and learn from each other.
