SECURITY COUNCIL

Concise information on human rights for the Security Council.

In February 2023, the Human Rights Likeminded Office (HRLO) expanded its work to bring human rights to the Security Council. The posts below have supported those engaged in the most powerful body of the United Nations to do more for human rights. Informal information-sharing helps overcome political and technical challenges, in particular the lack of sources of information on human rights for the Security Council.

 

HRLO makes information accessible, mostly drawing on public UN sources, including reports by Special Rapporteurs and Commissions of Inquiry, as well as statements by senior UN officials and inputs from human rights organizations. The aim is to take a holistic and inclusive approach that takes into account all relevant human rights considerations on every topic.
