The Human Rights Council on Monday held a general debate on the Universal Periodic Review.  

In the general debate, speakers underlined that the Universal Periodic Review should be conducted in an objective, non-biased, constructive, non-confrontational and non-politicized manner.  They all stressed that the implementation of recommendations was the key challenge of the Universal Periodic Review process, noting that some sort of monitoring for the implementation should be set up at the national level.
