UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has accused the UN Human Rights Commission of failing to uphold human rights and said a new, permanent body is needed.
Speaking in Geneva, Mr Annan said the commission was undermining the credibility of the entire UN.
Human rights groups say the body's member nations are too concerned with protecting their national interests.
Current members include Sudan, Zimbabwe, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia - all accused of rights abuses.
