"I share the view that the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a unique platform specialising in universal human rights and a forum that deals specifically with human rights within the United Nations system. I also believe it is entrusted with the important task of strengthening the promotion, protection and respect of human rights around the globe. However, I cannot agree with its criticism of Russia and China for using their veto in the United Nations, as in my view, they have used that veto precisely to avoid a war like the one we saw in Libya. I also disagree with the concept of responsibility to protect, as this argument can be used to justify military interventions such as the one in Libya. I therefore abstained."@en1
