ABOUT
THE
COMMITTEE
The Human Rights Council (HRC) is the main organ of the United Nations (UN) responsible for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and for addressing situations of human rights violations and making recommendations on them. Its duty entails responding to urgent human rights situations by addressing issues regarding accountability and liability for violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.
The Human Rights Council has also taken some on-ground measures like conducting investigations (a fact finding mission) in which they have emphasized on finding the root cause for this issue and also the parties involved and guilty.
