The Universal Periodic Review of the United Nations Human Rights Council will issue the second review of China's human rights record on Oct 22. After the first review, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the lead in organizing working groups to give effect to the suggestions of the UN's top human rights body.

About 20 non-governmental organizations and academic institutions were consulted and asked to contribute to the draft of China's human rights report, which was posted on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' official website to solicit public opinions.
