UN Chief Narrows Search for New Human Rights Commissioner (1/2)

标准VOA,听写,英语,VOA,联合国,人权

VOA has learned that the U.N. chief has narrowed his list for the top U.N. human rights post to three candidates.

They are Navanethem Pillay, a black South African woman judge on the International Criminal Court, Hina Jilani, a female Pakistani lawyer and rights advocate, and Argentinean lawyer Juan Mendez who was tortured and detained as a political prisoner.

A panel, chaired by U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro and composed of some of Mr. Ban's closest advisors has led the search. In the interest of transparency, the secretary-general has been sharing his shortlist with diplomats, who have confirmed the names to VOA. Once Mr. Ban announces his pick, the candidate's name will be put before the General Assembly for formal approval.

The new human rights chief will be taking over from Canadian Judge, Louise Arbour, who said in March that she is leaving the post after one term to spend more time with her family.

Amnesty International's Senior Deputy Executive Director, Curt Goering, says whoever the new High Commissioner is they must possess certain qualities to carry out what he says is one of the most difficult jobs in the world.
