The UN Human 権利s 会議 is again under scrutiny after Bahrain, Cameroon, the Philippines and others were controversially elected to the 団体/死体

Bahrain, Cameroon and the Philippines were の中で a number of nations controversially elected to the 国際連合 Human 権利s 会議 on Friday, 誘発するing sharp 批評 from 権利s groups and the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs.

Around a third of seats on the 47-member 会議, based in Geneva, were open for slots 継続している from 2019-2022. A 97-投票(する) 大多数 from the 193 nations that (不足などを)補う the UN's General 議会 is needed for 是認.

For the first time since the 会議 was created in 2006, each 投票(する)ing 地域 agreed in 前進する on 18 候補者s to be in the running for 18 seats -- 除去するing any 競争.

New members Bahrain, Cameroon, the Philippines, Somalia, Bangladesh and Eritrea were elected with between 160 and 178 投票(する)s -- and すぐに drew 批評 from 行動主義者s in Europe and North America 解任するing them as "unqualified" 予定 to their human 権利s 記録,記録的な/記録するs.

"By putting 今後 serious 権利s violators and 現在のing only as many 候補者s as seats 利用できる, the 地域の groups 危険 土台を崩すing the 会議's 信用性 and 有効性," said New York-based Human 権利s Watch.

Louis Charbonneau, the group's UN director, called the 投票(する) "ridiculous" and said on Twitter it "makes mockery of (the) word '選挙.'"

At the start of the 投票(する)ing 開会/開廷/会期, the General 議会's 大統領,/社長, Maria Fernanda E spinosa, 公式文書,認めるd that every member 明言する/公表する is 許すd to 適用する for a seat.

Her 広報担当者 later 拒絶する/低下するd to 直接/まっすぐに 演説(する)/住所 the 批評, but instead 公式文書,認めるd: "It's (疑いを)晴らす that the world 推定する/予想するs that members of international 団体/死体s will がまんする to a 確かな 始める,決める of 基準s of 行為 一貫した with the 団体/死体s they have been elected to."

Five of the new members were from Africa, five from Asia, two from eastern Europe, three from Latin America and the Caribbean, and three from western Europe.

The 部隊d 明言する/公表するs pulled out of the 会議 in June, calling the organization a "hypocritical" 団体/死体 that "makes a mockery of human 権利s," in particular in regard to its 姿勢 on イスラエル.

Nikki Haley, who this week 発表するd her 辞職 as US 外交官/大使 to the UN, said Friday's 投票(する) 論証するs why the US was 権利 to 身を引く.

"Yet again, countries with poor human 権利s 記録,記録的な/記録するs ran uncontested. This 欠如(する) of 基準s continues to 土台を崩す the organization," she said.

"The 部隊d 明言する/公表するs will continue to support 改革(する)s that would make the Human 権利s 会議 信頼できる."
