New UN body to hold first session

"The UN is taking a historic step in its reform process with the first meeting of its new Human Rights Council.

"The body replaces the old, discredited Human Rights Commission, which was widely accused of protecting countries with poor human rights records.

"The hope is that the new council will be more democratic, less politicised and, above all, more effective in upholding human rights.

"UN Secretary General Kofi Annan will address the council's first session."
