Human rights council makes more than 300 recommendations with many coming from less well-off countries
The United Nations human rights council has warned the UK must tackle rising poverty after a four-yearly review which triggered demands for the British government to act from less well-off countries including Barbados, Vietnam and Romania.
Amid worsening financial prospects for millions, the member states of the UN body also demanded action on housing to prevent homelessness, better food security for young children and equal rights for people with disabilities.
