What is the UNHRC?
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a body whose mission is to promote and protect human rights around the world. The UNHRC has 47 members elected for staggered three-year terms on a regional group basis. It investigates allegations of breaches of human rights in UN member states, and addresses important thematic human rights issues such as freedom of association and assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of belief and religion, women's rights, LGBTI rights, and the rights of racial and ethnic minorities.
PGA’s Work
PGA monitors the HRC sessions in cooperation with other human rights NGOs and consults with UN Member States on the issuance of recommendations to States not Parties to the RS to ratify the Statute and on States that have not yet domesticated the RS to implement it in their domestic legal order.
