By an overwhelming majority, the UN General Assembly voted March 15, 2006, to establish a new Human Rights Council. This will replace the existing Commission on Human Rights.
For more information, see the UN Pulse post, Amnesty International's press release, Human Rights Watch's statement, and comments from the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights also has background information about the discussions that led to the establishment of the new council.
