united nations worthy christian news

(Worthy News) – The United Nations has confirmed the names of most of the candidates running for seats on the U.N. Human Rights Council in elections tentatively set for next week, and the expected return of the likes of China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Cuba will draw attention once again to the justification given by the Trump administration in 2018 for its decision to withdraw.

Unless rescheduled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the U.N. General Assembly in New York will next Tuesday hold a secret ballot election to fill 15 of the 47 seats on the Geneva-based HRC for new three-year terms.

Seats on the council are divvied up between the five regional groups recognized by the U.N., so of the 15 vacancies, four seats are for countries in Africa, four for Asia, three for Latin America and the Caribbean, and two each for Eastern Europe and the Western Europe and other states group (WEOG).
