Since its establishment in 2006, the Human Rights Council has expanded its work in the area of ​​using human rights experts to examine and monitor the human rights situation in countries. Special mechanisms, known as “special procedures”, are instruments that were initially developed by the former Commission on Human Rights and then assumed responsibility for their implementation by the Council. The purpose of these procedures is to monitor the human rights situation in specific countries (country missions) or to address major human rights violations at the global level (thematic missions). These mechanisms carry out their monitoring role by providing recommendations, guidance and general reports. Special rapporteurs under these procedures are tasked with examining and following up on the human rights situation at both the country and thematic levels. Such activities have played an important role over the years in documenting the human rights situation in a country, as well as promoting and consolidating new concepts in this field. These reports are not limited to the responsibilities assigned by the Human Rights Council and are used by other institutions and organizations such as human rights treaty bodies, the UN General Assembly, the International Court of Justice, national and international courts, as well as human rights organizations. The results of these efforts are widely cited as reliable and authoritative sources and play a significant role in decision-making and policy-making. This article answers the question of how successful the UN has been in protecting human rights through the Human Rights Council and what are its strengths and weaknesses?
