    The United Nations has a complex organizational structure for promoting and protecting human rights. The General Assembly oversees various treaty-monitoring bodies and commissions that focus on specific human rights issues or populations. These include committees on economic, social and cultural rights, torture, racial discrimination, women's rights, children's rights, and migrant workers' rights. The UN Secretary-General and Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights also play roles in human rights work.
