50th Session of the Human Rights Council
Thank you Mr President,
Today's commemorative event not only provides us with a moment of reflection on the past 49 sessions of the Human Rights Council but also an opportunity to warmly thank you, Madame High Commissioner, on behalf of over 100 countries, for your tireless work throughout the past years.
Four years ago, you said you were “ready for the challenge” to protect and promote the human rights of everyone, everywhere. You also said, it is one of the most important jobs at the international level and you could have added that it is one of the most challenging as well.
Current crises, inter alia climate change, the pandemic or armed conflicts have highlighted that a strong voice and advocate for human rights is indispensable. We would like to thank you for being this voice who has tirelessly advocated for universal responses anchored in human rights.
Thank you
