I attended the Committee in May 2023 during my PhD, but this session will be broadcast live (which is midly terrifying..). The UN system needs buy-in from domestic stakeholders, so it's really exciting to see our work pay off with Parliament more regularly (& publicly) engaging with the UPR.

I hope, as R2, you rejected a perfectly good manuscript and had a good time telling the author that they should have written a different paper.

That sounds really interesting. Might be worth looking at Philip Alston's recent OA text: humanrightstextbook.org/digital-book.
Beyond that, on the UPR specifically, if you e-mail me I can send you a long list of OA articles. My OA book on the UPR will also be out next year.

There's lots of really interesting work on the HRC's politicisation and how it has addressed (or rather not) the selectivity of its predecessor. You may have already read, but in case you haven't:
