Envoys 'fail to match' UN ideals

A Myanmar UN representative told the 32nd Human Rights Council Conference in Geneva on June 21 that the body's human rights envoys were not living up to the UN's ideals, according to the Voice of America news agency.

The Myanmar representative made the comment to the conference as Miklos Haraszti, the special envoy to Belarus, submitted a report to the conference.

The conference is being held from June 13 to July 1.

“Assigning duties to UN special envoys to investigate human rights is a positive sign, but it may cause confrontation, misunderstanding and differences,” Thet Thinzar Tun, the Myanmar representative, said. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
