The main difference is that the Basel I accord mainly focused on capital requirements for banks. The Basel II adds supervision and market discipline to these capital requirement through the "Three Pillar" concept. The first pillar is about capital requirement.

Basel III (or the Third Basel Accord) is a global, voluntary regulatory framework on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Basel III is intended to strengthen bank capital requirements by increasing bank liquidity and decreasing bank leverage. Credits: Wikipedia
Basel I was an international accord to set minimum levels of capital for banks. It was designed to ensure that lenders were sufficiently well capitalized to protect depositors and the financial system. The first Basel Accord however was replaced by a new accord, Basel II. The new accord was introduced to keep pace with the increased sophistication of lenders' operations and risk management and overcome some of the distortions caused by the lack of risk assessment divisions in Basel I. Basel I required lenders to calculate a minimum level of capital based on a single risk weight for each of a limited number of asset classes, e.g., mortgages, consumer lending, corporate loans, exposures to sovereigns. Basel II goes well beyond this, allowing some lenders to use their own risk measurement models to calculate required regulatory capital whilst seeking to ensure that lenders establish a culture with risk management at the heart of the organization up to the highest managerial level.
Basel I dealt with Capital Requirements for Banks. Basel II deal with Capital Requirements for Banks, Supervisor Review and Regulations, Market Displine. Basel III is same as Basel II with the enhancement of having Capital Buffer upto 4.5% which is not a part of Basel II.

I believe it was the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision who issued Basel 2. It was published in June of 2004. It's objective was to create an international standard for banking regulator to use.
There is a main difference between Basel II and Basel III. In Basel III, there is a 4.5% capital buffer to absorb shock. With Basel II, there is no capital buffer.
