Ambassador Harper Briefs the Media on HRC31

Ambassador Keith Harper spoke with the international media on the final day of the 31st Session of the Human Rights Council. “This Council showed that when the international community is united, we can deliver forceful messages about the importance of promoting and protecting human rights. When the Council speaks with a unified voice – when it speaks by consensus – it always speaks more powerfully,” Harper said.

 

“From North Korea to South Sudan, this Council did indeed speak by consensus. The Council made clear that it is unacceptable for gross human rights violations to continue. It is the job of the Council to shine the brightest possible spotlight on the world’s most egregious abuses.”
