3.1: HRC Membership
Forge a New Coalition to Improve HRC Membership. Other Information:
The United States will work to forge a new coalition in New York, a kind of “credibility caucus” to promote truly competitive
HRC elections, rigorous application of membership criteria, and other reforms aimed at keeping the worst human rights offenders
off the HRC. It is time for those UN member states committed to human rights values to come together themselves to do what
the General Assembly has not done in its review: hold Human Rights Council members to the same standard of truly “free and
fair” elections that the UN promotes around the world, and insist on the highest standards of integrity for the Council and
all its members.
