The United States underwent its second so-called "Universal Periodic Review" at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on May 11, 2015.
The process, which has been heralded as the single most important innovation of the UN Human Rights Council created in 2006, featured a series of states with abysmal human rights records of their own, criticizing the United States.
For example, the representative of Libya stated:
"...My delegation recommends the following. Expedite the ratification of the condition [sic] on the rights of the child. Number two, work and do all that is best in order to close down the Guantanamo facilities; number three, establish an independent commission insured by a special prosecutor to help identify and incarcerate the crimes perpetrated by individuals or groups based on racism. And finally, we wish the government of the United States all kinds of success in bringing up the level of performance of its national, legislative, and executive institutions."
