Ukraine starts three-year membership in UN Council on Human Rights

 Since Monday, February 26, Ukraine has started a three-year membership in the UN Human Rights Council, said Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

"Having completed the mission of a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, today Ukraine began a three-year membership in the UN Human Rights Council," Poroshenko wrote on his Twitter account on Monday morning.

He noted that the priority of Ukraine in the UN Human Rights Council will be "the protection of human rights throughout the world, including in the temporarily occupied Crimea and Donbas."
