Mary Robinson resigns
The UNPO regrets to learn that the UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights, Mary Robinson, has decided not to seek another term when her appointment
ends this coming September. Mrs. Robinson will be remembered for her courage
to stand up for what is right, and her determination to point out what is wrong
according to the principles of international human rights law, even when this
has led to strong criticism from powerful states.
The UNPO extends its best wishes to Mrs. Robinson.
