Protection of human rights

In 2006, the United Nations remained actively engaged in protecting human rights, mostly through the activities of its main organs—the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council—and the newly established Human Rights Council, which assumed the functions of the Commission on Human Rights in the Organization’s efforts to overhaul and reform its 60-year old human rights machinery.
