This article explains the importance of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in respect to

Hungary’s elected seat. The article describes human rights as the most important

intergovernmental bodies. As the article suggests, Hungary is expected to “

take action in the

interest of human rights and democracy throughout the world, and also to ensure that the world

acquires an accurate image of the country." I will use this source to explain the tasks that

Hungary is expected to perform in their serving t

erm regarding human rights

In this article, Gall describes the reasons as to why people should be concerned about th

e

situation of human rights in Hungary. According to the article, the election of Hungary presents a

great chance for its government to clean up its own human rights record. This will also allow

other governmental bodies to scrutinize Hungary more closely.

I will use this source to highlight

the importance of Hungary in the UNRC seat.

According to this article, Russia lost UNRHC membership due to its accusation of war crimes

with Syria. Despite its exposure to international diplomacy,

Russia was still unable to fight for

the seat successfully. This source will help me support my argument on why Russia is not the

best for the nominated position.

The author explains the reason as to why Russia lost their seat at the UNHRC during the

elections. As per the article, Russia was yearning to retain their position, but they failed because

the vote was a small but sym

bolic victory for the international community. This sent a clear

message that countries which commit human rights atrocities have no moral right to be in the

UNHRC. I will use this source to explain what is required to best fit as a UNHRC member.
