United Nations Human Rights Council

The United Nations Human Rights Council was created in 2006 with the intention of looking at human rights violations and then making suggestions on them. 47 nations in this group hold a responsibility for building an advancement and recognition of human rights around the world. Their website has good descriptions of how they go about working on looking at possible violations. On a personal note I found it interesting that the group works closely with NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) in looking at human right violations since these groups could be more reliable than simply working with a government that is perhaps corrupt.
