UN human rights review on Beijing completed

China completed its third review at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, a process on Friday that Vice-Foreign Minister Le Yucheng described as "smooth" and "very successful".

The UN Human Rights Council reviews its members' human rights every four to five years in a process that is officially called the Universal Periodic Reviews. The review was chaired by Coly Seck, permanent representative of Senegal to the UN Office in Geneva, Switzerland, and also president of the UN Human Rights Council.

Le, who is head of the Chinese delegation to the 40th session of the UN Human Rights Council, said there has been wide recognition of China's human rights achievements and human rights development path and its commitment to promote human rights.
