The UN Human Rights Council (UN HRC) is the key institution for human rights promotion in the UN system. Its aim is to promote '...universal respect for the protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms...' [UN GA Res. 60/251, para 2]. To reach its aim the UN HRC: 1) functions as '...a forum... on thematic issues on all human rights...'; 2) closely cooperates with various actors, notably '...with Governments, regional organizations, national human rights institutions and civil society [UN GA Res. 60/251, para 5b, para 5h]. The research question is: how do actors promote human rights at the UN HRC?

The UN HRC is an arena of the highest level of contestation among actors. The core problem is two-fold: 1) divergence among actors in human rights will augment with emergence of multi-polar world system; 2) existing academic literature overlooks systemic measurement of ties among various actors at the UN HRC.

The research hypothesis is that actors within the UN HRC establish thematic networks to promote human rights. The methodological basis of the research is the sociological approach to studies of international organizations and social network theory. Networks are global: they promote their view on the 'world as a whole'. Networks comprise states and organizations of varying socio-legal nature and geographic space. The core of a network is represented by a global group of people interested in particular interpretation of human rights.

The research methods are semi-structured interviewing and social network analysis applied to the UN HRC 'institution-building package', precisely, the Universal Periodic Review, the Regular and Special Sessions, the Special Procedures.
