The Interview - United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights - Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein
Download United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights - Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein
The United Nations Human Rights Commissioner, Zeid Al Hussein, is stepping down in August after four years in the post having said he doesn’t want a second term. In an exclusive interview the veteran Jordanian diplomat tells Zeinab Badawi why he didn’t want to stay in the job. After being criticised for being too outspoken – especially about the US president Donald Trump’s policies – was he too vocal to be effective in promoting human rights globally, or is that just what the job demands?
