UNHRC membership will place Malaysia in good stead to speak up on human rights issues

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysia has presented its candidature for the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) seat for the term 2022-2024, with the election to be held on Thursday (Oct 14) at the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly.

While welcoming Malaysia’s candidacy social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said if successful in securing a seat in the council, it would certainly add prestige to Malaysia and put the country in a very good position to advocate and speak up on human rights issues all over the world.
