The Human Rights Council replaced the former United Nations Commission on Human Rights. 

The Uyghurs are recognized as native to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. They are considered to be one of China's 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities. The Uyghurs are recognized by China only as a regional minority within a multicultural nation and China rejects the idea of them being an indigenous group. Since 2016, it is estimated that over a million Uyghurs have been detained in Xinjiang re-education camps.

This committee is apt for both experienced and inexperienced delegates.
