The American Civil Liberties Union said Floyd's relatives joined some 600 rights groups to demand the top UN human rights body "urgently" convene a special session to look into a rise of police violence and repression of protests in the US.
A spokesman for the Human Rights Council in Geneva confirmed the council office received a letter on Monday from the groups outlining their call for an independent investigation into the recent killings of unarmed Black people in the US as well as one into "violent law enforcement responses to protests".
