When was the UN Human Rights Council established?

The UN Human Rights Council was established in 2006 as a response to the need for a more effective and credible body to promote and protect human rights worldwide. The Council was created to replace the former Commission on Human Rights, which had faced criticism for its inefficiency and the negative perception surrounding its political motivations. The establishment of the Human Rights Council marked a significant step in strengthening the UN's commitment to human rights, as it was tasked with addressing human rights violations and making recommendations for their improvement. The creation of this body was a part of broader UN reforms aimed at improving the effectiveness of the organization in addressing pressing global issues.
