Saudi Arabia fails to join UN human rights council but Russia and China elected
The only contested region of the UN human rights council in the 2020 elections was the Asia-Pacific, where China and Saudi Arabia were in a five-way race with Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Nepal for four seats.
Each nation state sitting on the council is charged with promoting and protecting human rights.
China stands accused of sending hundreds of thousands of Uighur Muslims into state re-education camps in Xinjiang province.
The UK shadow foreign secretary, Lisa Nandy, pressed the foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, to publicly state that the UK would not be supporting China. He declined to do so as the normal practice of UK is not to reveal how they had voted.
