United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a subsidiary body of the United Nations General Assembly, established in 2006 to promote and protect human rights worldwide. It replaced the former UN Commission on Human Rights. The UNHRC is responsible for addressing human rights violations, making recommendations, and promoting international cooperation in the field of human rights. It consists of 47 member states elected by the General Assembly for staggered three-year terms. The council meets regularly in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss human rights issues and adopt resolutions and decisions aimed at addressing various human rights concerns globally.

Executive Board

Introducing The Executive Board For The United Nations Human Rights Council!

President

Kamlesh Mohanty

"It’s better to be unique than the best. The best makes you number one, but unique makes you the only one."

I’m a legal professional with an expertise in international relations, IP and transactional matters, currently working in the public sector on legal and regulatory matters at the world’s largest startup incubator. Over the years, I’ve been part of MUNs in many capacities; delegate, Chair, mentor, and it continues to be a space I hold close.

Even with a packed professional schedule, I still choose to return, not out of obligation, but because I believe in what MUNs stand for. In a world where algorithms are rewriting the rules, and where code doesn’t pause for grief, burnout, or doubt, debate remains one of the few truly human acts.

That’s why I’m here: to share what I’ve learned, to give back to a format that shaped me, and to support those stepping into this arena for the first time. If you're here to find your voice, you’ve already taken the hardest step.

If you ever need help, guidance, strategy, or even just a conversation around Tech, Ranbir Kapoor, F1 or Cricket I’m around. If there’s anything that must survive the algorithm, let it be conviction, clarity, and voice.

Vice-President

Ishaan Sharma

Meet Ishaan Sharma, a hardworking student with an experience of over 30 conferences, both at the capacity of an executive board member and a delegate.

Ishaan’s vibrant energy and articulate speeches illuminate every committee session. When he's not extensively lobbying, you'll find him pumping iron at the gym, engaging in equestrianism, or arm wrestling fellow delegates. He has an unwavering passion for Model UN and looks forward to igniting that spark in others as well.

Serving as the Vice Chairperson for the United Nations Human Rights Council at TGESMUN 2025, Ishaan looks forward to a productive conference.
