In June 1946 ECOSOC empowered the Commission on Human Rights to establish sub-commissions to advise it on the protection of minorities and the prevention of discrimination. The Commission set up just one sub-commission, the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities. Made up of twelve members serving in their individual capacity as experts, the first meeting was held in November 1947. The Sub-Commission was mandated to undertake studies and make recommendations to the Commission.
