UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlighted the role of the Human Rights Council in surveying crises and challenges around the world. In particular, the UN chief spotlighted the situations in Syria, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay spoke of the growing number of people confidently laying claim to their rights. “Streets, airwaves, entire countries are buzzing with demands for economic, social and political justice,” she said.
