The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a UN body made up of 47 member states tasked with promoting and protecting human rights worldwide. The Council is the main platform for dialogue on human rights issues. It works to address violations and recommend solutions. It was created in 2006 to replace the Commission on Human Rights. The UNHRC has the authority to examine human rights situations, issue reports, and make recommendations. Periodically, the council reviews the human rights records of UN member states to identify areas for improvement. The UNHRC also appoints independent experts, known as Special Procedures, to investigate and report on human rights issues in specific countries or on specific themes. Today, the UNHRC continues to address and make recommendations for evolving human rights challenges, including conflict-related abuses, restrictions on freedom of expression, and the protection of vulnerable populations.
