Kazakhstan's election to UNHRC is a merit of President: K. Sultanov
ASTANA. November 15. KAZINFORM "Election to the UN Human Rights Council is a huge achievement for Kazakhstan and merit of our President," Kuanysh Sultanov, Chairman of the Human Rights Commission under the President of Kazakhstan, told the extended session of the commission on Thursday.
"This process involved a lot of work on the part of the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Kazakhstan's representatives at the UN. To bid for accession to the UNHRC and fail would be quite a flop for us," K. Sultanov said.
He stressed that the success was due to President of the country Nursultan Nazarbayev. He also added that 'when considering a candidature of the promising UNHRC member, all factors of socioeconomic and political development of the country are taken into account.'
