Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council

The Human Rights Council’s Special Procedures are independent experts or groups assigned to monitor, investigate, and report on specific human rights issues or countries. They gather information from various sources, conduct country visits when possible, and issue reports with findings and recommendations. Their purpose is to raise awareness, promote accountability, and support efforts to improve human rights conditions worldwide. These procedures operate independently from governments and are essential tools for addressing concerns that might otherwise be overlooked or suppressed.
