Concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to the organization of the United Nations in the field of human rights.

Summary

Makes it the sense of the Congress that the President, acting through the United States delegation to the United Nations, should take such steps as may be necessary to urge the United Nations to replace the Commission on Human Rights with a Human Rights Council to be created as a principal organ of the United Nations (administered by an Under Secretary General for Human Rights Affairs within the Secretariat), submitting its recommendations to the General Assembly, with authority to hold regular sessions more than once a year, and authority to hold special sessions at any time to deal with urgent situations involving gross violations of human rights. Requests the President to report to the Congress in writing concerning actions taken by him to carry out the policy referred to in the first section of this concurrent resolution.
