The place of human rights (A special focus on the Human Rights Council)

Human rights is considered as one of the main priorities of the United Nations and it plays a major role in culture and literature in different societies. The governments as the main audience are obligated to cooperation and efforts in order to improve it. The Human Rights Council is one of the principal organs of the United Nations. Unlike the Human Rights Commission was a subsidiary organ of the UN Economic and Social council but Human Rights Council has become one of the pillars of the UN General Assembly. There is a sharp distinction between the Human Rights Council and the Commission on Human Rights that is its legal features. The council was established with the aim of defending human rights.
