Human rights violations

In 2006, human rights situations of concern, particularly regarding alleged violations and how best to assist and guide Governments and national institutions in combating them, were addressed by the General Assembly and the newly established Human Rights Council, as well as by special rapporteurs, the Secretary-General’s special representatives and independent experts appointed to examine those situations. A marked escalation of armed conflict in the Darfur region of the Sudan, relations between Israel and Lebanon, and the situation in the occupied Palestinian Territories prompted the Council to convene four special sessions to consider each case.
