Maldives an "example of a good story of human rights": UN Human Rights Commissioner

United Nations' High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, commended Maldives as an "example of a good story of human rights", on Thursday.

Speaking at an informal meeting with both observer and member states at the UN Office in Geneva, Switzerland, the High Commissioner mentioned her oral update during the upcoming 42nd Session of the Human Rights Council would focus on the need for urgent climate action, adding that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) would break down if countries fail to address climate change.
