"This has to be someone who is a person of the highest integrity and the highest possible international standing. Someone who should have a well-established record of advocacy on human rights issues, someone who is able to deal directly with governments in quiet diplomacy when that is called for, and when there are possibilities of achieving results through quiet discussions, but at the same time be prepared to be vocal and outspoken when that is called for. This person -- he or she-- has to really be a human rights champion."
Former High Commissioner Louise Arbour's tenure has generally received high marks from human rights groups, but was attacked by many governments for her criticism of their rights records.
Israel came under fire for its military action against Palestinians and its war with Hezbollah in 2006 that killed more than a thousand Lebanese civilians. Arbour cited China for its use of the death penalty and said the United States' war on terror was eroding the worldwide ban on torture.
