Switzerland's work at 59th session of the Human Rights Council focused on women's rights and non-discrimination
Bern, 08.07.2025 — In a global context where the rule of law is being undermined, Switzerland is working hard to defend human rights. Promoting women's rights, gender equality and the rights of LGBT people were some of the key issues addressed at the 59th session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC). The work of the session, which closed today following three and a half weeks of debates, has been affected by the budget cuts imposed across the UN system.
