| Abstract: | The UN Human Rights Council is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations that was established with the aim of respecting, encouraging and strengthening the protection of the human rights throughout the world. It was developed by the Commission on Human Rights with the General Assembly resolution 60/251 on 15 March 2006, with it's location in Geneva (Switzerland). It has 47 states, which are also members of the United Nations, who were elected by the General Assembly for a term of three years. Through a direct and indirect work of the rapporteurs, it specifically reviews the human rights situation in individual countries. The thesis is dedicated to the presentation of the United Nations Human Rights Council, with a specific focus on the work and the problems of it. This is done by using the descriptive method. At the same time, the thesis is trying to confirm the hypothesis, that the United Nations Human Rights Council is the fundamental body in the United Nations structure, established with the aim of respecting and recognizing human rights around the world. In the introduction, it's briefly defined the concept and significance of the human rights in general, and analyzed in details their meaning in the Council itself. In the main part of the thesis, it's briefly described the United Nations Organization (including the description of it's main organs), as it represents the fundamental for the existence of the Council. Then we pass on the essence of the thesis. Therefore, it's mentioned the work of the Council and the numerous problems that have affected it during these years. One of the key problems is, in particular, the withdrawal of the US from the Council, the election of new members, the complaint of incompetence, the violation of the human rights by Saudi Arabia, etc. It also had to face the unsuccessful monitoring of the human rights situation in China and much more.The UN Human Rights Council is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations that was established with the aim of respecting, encouraging and strengthening the protection of the human rights throughout the world.
