CHINA-UNHRC: UNHRC CHIEF ANNOUNCES SHE WILL NOT SEEK REELECTION
The United Nations Human Rights chief, Ms Michelle Bachelet, said (June 13) that she would
not seek a second term for personal reasons, refuting speculation that it was a decision linked
to blowback over her trip to China last month. Bachelet, 70, was criticised by rights groups as
well as some Western governments, including the United States, who said the conditions
Chinese authorities imposed on the visit did not enable a complete and independent assessment
of the rights environment.
