Here is that the U.N. Human Rights Council does:- The United Nations Human Rights Council has 47 voting members from five regional groups.
- It replaced the Human Rights Commission which was dissolved partly due to a controversy over membership.
- New rules were created on eligibility meant to prevent major abusers getting voting rights.
- It meets three times a year at the U.N. in Geneva in sessions attended by diplomats, ministers, presidents, civil society and human rights victims and activists.
- It also holds regular peer review sessions where countries scrutinise each other's human rights records.
