| Sumario: |
The serious violations to the international humanitarian law that happened during World War II motivated an important part of the international society to create the Human Rights Committee as an ancillary organ of the Ecosoc inside the United Nations. Although this committee obtained important achievements in the exercise of the functions of promoting and protecting the human rights, its strong management by politics, the new challenges in the subject and the need to fortify in an institutional way the matter, made this committee to be replaced through the resolution 60/251 of 2006 of the ONU’s General Assembly by a Human Rights Council , a more representative, permanent, impartial organ, with more responsibilities in the process of attention, evaluation and fulfillment of the obligations in the theme of Human Rights by the states members . In the Colombian case, the extinct Human Rights committee did a permanent following of the armed conflict, work that now will be assumed by the new Human Rights council, that now will follow the recommendations done by the old committee. An innovative element in the mentioned resolution is a mechanism of universal periodic exam which all the countries that are members will be evaluated without exception in the accomplishment of their compromises with the Human Rights. This organ will require the compromise and the good will of the States that are members of the Council, the governments and all the other participants. |
