Promotion of human rights

United Nations efforts to promote human rights continued in 1997 through the Commission on Human Rights, which marked its fiftieth anniversary, and its subsidiary body—the Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities—and human rights treaty bodies, which reported on their work to the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights carried out a programme of technical cooperation in human rights, including advisory services.
