This report seeks to highlight some of the noteworthy developments that took place during the 58th session (Mar-Apr 2002) of the UN Commission on Human Rights (henceforth 'Commission'). The Commission was set up in 1947 & has become one of the best-known human rights bodies. The high diplomatic status of the Commission's state membership, however, leads to a clash between the high expectations of the international community & the reality of the politicization of its work. These tensions will be explored through a focus on thematic & country issues discussed at the 58th session. Adapted from the source document.
