Burundi set to win UN Human Rights Council re-election despite abuses, HRW warns
Original: Burundi set to win UN Human Rights Council re-election amid rights violations, HRW says
Human Rights Watch says Burundi is on course to win re-election to the UN Human Rights Council despite ongoing serious human rights violations at home. Critics argue that seating a government accused of abuses undermines the council's credibility, as member states vote by region with little competition, making a Burundian seat effectively assured.
Why now: Rights groups are challenging the legitimacy of electing a country accused of violations to the body meant to uphold human rights.
