The scale of immigration problems in Europe today is well-known and broadly dis-cussed. The article identifies how this issue is reflected in two Human Rights Council mechanisms: Special Procedures and the Universal Periodic Review. The Special Rap-porteur on the human rights of migrants, François Crépeau, undertook a regional study on the management of the external borders of the European Union and its impact on the human rights of migrants. The analysis of the annual and country visits’ reports allows the main immigration problems facing the EU countries and threats for the protection of human rights to be identified. The recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur are confronted with those taken up in the UPR process. Special attention is given to the EU countries’ position on the problem of immigrants. Their reluctance to raise this issue in the UPR weakens the credibility of EU Member States and puts the objectivity of the mechanism into question.

The UN human rights system is constantly growing, as new treaties are adopted and new special procedures are established. While this strengthens the protection of some human rights, the development is also criticized for blurring recognized concepts, which consequently leads to the weakening of the protection of human rights. The article analyzes the quantitative expansion of UN special procedures, with an emphasis on thematic mandates. Reasons for their growing number are examined, as well as strengths and weaknesses that this development brings. In the second part the article scrutinizes when the activities and competences of thematic special procedures and treaty bodies overlap. The two groups act complementary, but a lack of cooperation between them can lead to competition and duplication. The article closes with possible solutions of dealing with the expansion of the universal system, that would strengthen human rights protection, while making best use of available financial, administrative and technical resources.
