The United Nations Human Rights Committee is a treaty body made of 18 experts, created by a 1966 human rights treaty, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
The Committee meets for three four-week sessions per year to talk about reports given to the 173 States parties to the ICCPR.[1] The Committee is one of ten UN human rights treaty bodies, each responsible for supporting human rights.[2]
