The Human Rights Council at ungeneva in #Switzerland works to advance human rights worldwide, helping ensure everyone enjoys the protections guaranteed by international law and supporting those whose rights have been denied. Made up of 47 countries elected by the General Assembly for three-year terms, the humanrightscouncil addresses human rights violations and issues recommendations to help resolve them. It also reviews the human rights records of all 193 UN member countries — the only process of this kind in existence. Scroll through to learn more about the Council as its 62nd session gets underway on Monday. 📸: UN Photo/Jean-Marc Ferré, Violaine Martin #HRC62 #StandUp4HumanRights
