List of Members and alternates of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (2006)

Note: The year given against the names of the Sub-Commission members and alternates represents the year when the term of office expires. With the assumption, by the Human Rights Council, of the Sub-Commission and its existing mandates, working groups and other mechanisms, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/251, and in view of the short and procedural nature of its sixty-second session, the Commission on Human Rights did not hold elections for the 13 Sub-Commission members and their alternates whose terms of office were to expire in 2006. Pursuant to its decision 1/102, the Council decided to extend exceptionally for one year (i.e. until June 2007), subject to the review to be undertaken in conformity with Assembly resolution 60/251, the mandates and mandate-holders of the Sub-Commission. The information below, including the indication regarding the terms of mandates of members, is therefore listed for information purposes.

With the adoption of resolution 5/1, the Council decided to establish the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee to function as a think-tank for the Council and work at its direction. Elections to the new subsidiary body of the Council will take place in March 2008.
