On the sidelines of 58th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights, Minister of Foreign Affairs Olivier Nduhungirehe held a bilateral meeting with Alain Berset, Secretary General of the Council of Europe.
“They discussed matters of common interest including the human rights abuses against the Rwandophone community in Eastern DRC”, according to the Rwandan diplomacy.
The 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council began on Monday with a warning of a “sharp decline” in human rights and a call for a “robust” response by states.
The session, which will continue until April 4, was declared open by Jurg Lauber, the president of the council, who said states’ responsibility is beyond just adopting resolutions.
A minute of silence was observed by all participants for all the victims of human rights violations. (Fin)
