Human Rights Committee (HRC)

The Human Rights Committee (HRC) is an international body established under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Its main role is to monitor and ensure that countries that have ratified the ICCPR uphold and respect the civil and political rights of their citizens. The Committee reviews reports from governments and considers individual complaints about violations. It provides recommendations to improve human rights practices and promotes accountability. Overall, the HRC serves as a guardian of fundamental freedoms, helping to protect individuals from abuses and ensuring governments adhere to their international human rights obligations.
