Ireland is currently seeking a term on the Human Rights Council for the period 2027-2029.

We will have five thematic priorities for our campaign, which will continue into our membership, if elected: to support civil society space and human rights defenders; to champion women’s rights and gender equality; to defend the rights of LGBTIQ+ persons; to call attention to the most basic right to adequate food; and, to bring a strong focus to the rights of persons with disabilities in conflict. Each of these themes can contribute to a better future, recognising the rights of children and youth in securing that future.

The election for the Human Rights Council will be held in October 2026 and, if elected, Ireland’s three year term will begin in January 2027.
