"If this becomes just one more Chinese publicity stunt, then the Human Rights Council will add insult to injury to the people suffering under China’s brutality," she said.April 29, 2022: United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, listens to the meeting introduction before delivering opening remarks while hosting a debate on key human rights issues in the country at ICS – Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal.
