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.

President

Sai Srikar D

Srikar is a Grade 12 student at Delhi Public School, Hyderabad.

Having found the debate in MUN conferences to be quite intriguing and sometimes even exciting, he wishes all the participants the best of luck in their research and hopes to see fruitful debate at the conference.

Vice President

Rajas Agarwal

Rajas Agarwal is a dynamic 15-year-old with an unwavering passion for debate and outdoor gamesRajas has already made a name for himself in the world of Model United Nations, having participated in 20+ conferences as both a delegate and a member of the Executive Board. Remarkably, he has

emerged victorious in each of these MUNs, showcasing his exceptional debating skills, diplomacy, and knowledge of global affairs.

Rapporteur

Charan Ponamgi

"If he's in front of you but you still can't see him - That's Charan. When he's not making jokes in class (often at the expense of himself), he's chilling in the amphitheater, thinking about his next big book idea or a response he could've given to an argument he had in 2nd grade. But don't let his height fool you, he's known to destroy delegates twice his age in committee sessions with his witty comebacks. After discovering MUNs only a year ago, he's progressed quickly, winning best delegate or high commendation in every conference he's been to. Serving as the Rapporteur for HRC, he is committed towards engaging meaningful dialogue and looking forward to fierce debates!"
