... 2006, the
Commission on Human Rights, established pursuant to Art. 68 of the 1945
U.N. Charter, held its last meeting after having been replaced by the new
Human Rights Council. Among the Commission's many achievements had been the drafting of the 1948
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as detailed in Mary Ann
Glendon's A World Made New.
