Investigation of the Performance of Human Right Council in Middle East

Javad Azizi, Kheirollah Parvin, Mostafa Seraji
Abstract

As the secondary pillar of the general assembly, Human Right Council is the substitute for the human right commission. UN proved it through establishment of this institution that it gives a particular importance to the improvement of the global human right situation and enhancement of the global respect as well as to the support of human rights and essential freedoms and also that it is responsible for offering counseling and technical services for the enforcement of the states’ human right commitments. Amongst the properties of human right council, the possibility of suspending the membership of human right-violating countries and creation of mechanisms for universal periodical review (UPR) as well as for studying the details related to the supervision on the human right violations worldwide can be pointed out. It seems despite the great many of efforts made by the council in human right grounds that it has not yet been able to reach its ultimate position and goal in defending the human rights in different countries, especially Middle East region.
