Ambassador Joerg Lauber, president of the United Nations Human Rights Council, briefed reporters in New York following the council's sixtieth session. He highlighted the council's recent output — including 35 adopted resolutions and new investigative mandates — and warned that budgetary shortfalls and member-state disengagement threaten the council's ability to implement decisions, citing a stalled commission of inquiry for eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo as an example. In a question-and-answer period he defended the council's inherently political nature while arguing many states still uphold international law.
