It advances a dual-perspective assessment of the UPR: the 'external' perspective, which focuses on a state's practice at the UPR, and the 'internal' perspective, which examines the influence of the UPR on the executive, legislature and judiciary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The author introduces a new framework for assessing state participation, drawing on Kathryn Sikkink's 'Evidence for Hope' to advance the methodological rigour of UPR research. The UK context explored in the book highlights the influence of domestic politics, institutional capacity and accountability processes, with implications for Westminster systems worldwide. It is crucial reading for scholars, policy makers and practitioners of international human rights law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Lane is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Worcester, UK.
