Human rights,adopted by general Assembly in 1945 and 1948, respectively. Since then, the United Nations has gradually expanded human rights law to encompass specific standards for women, children,persons with disabilities,minorities and other vulnerable groups,who now possess rights that protect them from discrimination that had long been common in many societies.
The Universal Declaration of human rights (UDHR ) is a milestone document in the history of human rights.Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world,the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in paris on 10 December1948 by general assembly resolution .

human rights council established on 15 march 2006 by general assembly and reporting directly to it,replaced the 60-year -old UN commission on human rights as the key UN intergovernmental body responsilble for human rights. The Council is made up of 47 state representatives and is tasked with strengthenening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe by addressing situations of human rights violations and making recommendations on them,including responding to human rights emergencies.
The most innovative feature of the human rights council is the Universal periodic review.
This unique mechanism involves a review of the human rights records of all 192 UN member of states once every four years.The Review is a cooperative state-driven process,under the auspices of the council,which provides the opportunity for each state to present measures taken and challenges to be met to improve the human rights situation in their country and to meet their international obligations.The Review is designed to ensure universality and equality of treatment for every country.
UN HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
the united nations high commissioner for human rights exercises principal responsibility for UN human rights activities.the high commissioner is mandated to respond to serious violations of human rights and to undertake preventive action.

It also undertakes human rights filed activities
Most of the core human rights treaties have an oversight body which is responsible for reviewing the implementation of that treaty by countries that have ratified it. individuals,whose rights have been violated can file complanists directly to committees overseeing human rights treaties.
