The first paragraph on page 383 should read:
In January, Uruguay underwent its second Universal Periodic Review (UPR), engaging very constructively and acknowledging remaining challenges. Uruguay immediately accepted all but one of the 188 recommendations received. The exception was one based on so-called "traditional values" which run counter to the principle of non-discrimination (Bangladesh called for protection of the family defined as being based on a relationship between a man and a woman). In July, the EU Delegation held an annual civil society meeting with NGOs which receive EU funding. A human rights working group with EU Member States was created in order to follow up on human rights issues in Uruguay including the implementation of the UPR recommendations.
