The high-level segment of the UN Human Rights Council opens today in Geneva, with dignitaries from more than 100 States addressing the Council. The meeting brings together world leaders to discuss human rights challenges. The Council’s 61st regular session (23 February–31 March 2026) will feature debates, interactive dialogues and panel discussions on issues such as disability rights, children’s rights, peace and sustainable development. Delegations will also review human rights situations in different countries, appoint new independent experts and adopt resolutions to guide future action. UNICEF’s programme for children with disabilities helps them attain their human rights.
