Amnesty International acknowledges that the Human Rights Council has to spend time on wrapping up the business of the Commission on Human Rights as well as developing working methods and makes appropriate recommendations in this document. The organisation also draws the Council’s attention to current situations that should be addressed: the human rights crisis in Darfur and Eastern Chad, maternal and infant health in Peru, human rights violations in Sri Lanka, the denial of rights for the “erased” in Slovenia, and the crisis in Israel, the Occupied Territories and Lebanon.
