20.500.12556/DKUM-43746 UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL - HISTORY, PRESENT, FUTURE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL - HISTORY, PRESENT, FUTURE While one of the greatest achievements of the United Nations has been the creation of international human rights norms and standards, its human rights protection mechanisms have failed to fulfil their mandate. In the early 2000’s, the Commission on Human Rights, as the major United Nations body working to promote and protect human rights, started to lose its credibility. It was criticised by a wide spectrum of the international community including states, non – governmental organizations and academics for its politicisation and polarisation, double standards, loss of focus, ineffectual decision making and a dubious membership composition. As a consequence of persistent negative responses, in June 2006 the Commission on Human Rights was replaced by the Human Rights Council, in an attempt to create a credible United Nations human rights body. This thesis focuses on the institutional differences between both bodies, their application in practice, and the advantages and disadvantages of the new human rights watchdog. In order to provide as comprehensive a comparison as possible, the research also includes examination of various United Nations documents, media postings, contributions made by non – governmental organizations, and academic studies. Medtem ko so Združeni narodi zaslužni za nastanek mednarodnega prava človekovih pravic, pa njihov sistem zaščite teh pravic ni izpolnil pričakovanj. Komisija za človekove pravice, kot glavno telo Združenih narodov za varovanje človekovih pravic, je nekje od leta 2000 vedno bolj izgubljala kredibilnost zaradi očitkov na račun neučinkovitosti. Države, nevladne organizacije in akademiki so jo grajali zaradi politizacije in polarizacije, dvojnih standardov, izgube zbranosti, neučinkovitosti odločitev in sporne sestave njenega članstva. Kot posledica vztrajnih negativnih odzivov je leta 2006 Komisijo za človekove pravice zamenjalo novo telo imenovano Svet za človekove pravice. Namen te diplomske naloge je najti odgovor na vprašanje ali je bila ta sprememba sploh pomenila korak naprej, zato so raziskane institucionalne razlike med obema telesoma in kako so le te vplivale na učinkovitost samega telesa. Z namenom ponuditi kar se da izčrpno primerjavo so bili v raziskavi uporabljeni različni dokumenti Združenih narodov, odzivi medijev, prispevki nevladnih organizacij ter različna akademska dela.
