FN's Human Right Counsil (HRC) skapades 2006 av bland annat Jan Eliasson som ett svar på att det dåvarande organet för Mänskliga Rättigheter inom FN blivit allvarligt ifrågasatt och misskrediterat. Den senaste tiden har det formerats en majoritet av medlemsstater kring Kina som fattar majoriteten av besluten i HRC. Ett beslut som går till omröstning ser ofta ut så här:
Beslut taget vid 14e sessionen 2009:
1. Requests the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to convene, in 2010, a workshop for an exchange of views on how a better understanding of traditional values of humankind underpinning international human rights norms and standards can contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, with the participation of representatives from all interested States, regional organizations, national human rights institutions and civil society, as well as experts selected with due consideration given to the appropriate representation of different civilizations and legal systems;
2. Requests the Office of the High Commissioner to present to the Council a summary of the discussions held at the workshop in conformity with the programme of work of the Council.
31st meeting 2 October 2009

Dessa är de 47 stater som just nu är medlemmar i HRC och vars majoritet styr och kontrollerar hur FN agerar rörande Mänskliga Rättigheter i världen.
