Resolution 60/251, adopted by the General Assembly on 15 March 2006, established a new Human Rights Council to replace the Commission on Human Rights. According to the terms of Resolution 60/251, the review will cover not only the Special Procedures but also the procedure established under Economic and Social Council resolution 1503 and the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. Amnesty International has a particular interest in the review of the Special Procedures.
