| | The report proposes the creation of a new UN human rights body - a Human Rights Council - either as a new principal organ of the UN, which would require an amendment to the UN Charter, or as a subsidiary body of the General Assembly, which could be established under Article 22 of the Charter. | | | Amnesty International calls on all governments to respond constructively to the Secretary-General& proposal to establish a strong UN human rights body that enhances the strengths of the Commission on Human Rights and the Third Committee of the General Assembly, while remedying their shortcomings. | | | With the necessary political will, this time of UN reform offers a rare opportunity to create an effective UN human rights body consistent with the promise of the UN Charter of a world where peace and justice prevails and all people enjoy all their human rights and fundamental freedoms without discrimination. |
