Russia and Israel oppose Turk's UN term

Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, faces opposition from Russia and Israel to serving a second four-year term, amid an upcoming vote in the United Nations General Assembly. This comes amidst his outspoken criticisms of Russia's war in Ukraine and Israel’s crimes in the Gaza Strip, where he described the latter as committing random killings and acts of genocide, which has angered some countries. Despite the opposition from Russia and Israel, Türk enjoys strong support from Europe and several Latin American countries, with no other clear candidates for this crucial position that plays a vital role in monitoring human rights at the United Nations.
