Filipino elected panel head of UN Human Rights body

Filipino elected panel head of UN Human Rights body - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

A FILIPINO authority on human rights has been unanimously elected chairperson of the Advisory Committee of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

I am happy for Madame P. Quisumbing's new work, although I am not impressed by her track record as past chairperson of the Philippine Human Rights Commission.

At any rate, her new role brings honor to the country. For which she deserves some recognition.
