United Nations: Cautioning the top human rights body, the UN Human Rights Council to guard against "selective country spotlighting" and "intrusive monitoring", India has said it should respect the right of each state to organise and manage its affairs.
"This Council should respect the right of each state to organise and manage its affairs including in the field of human rights and guard against falling in the trap of selective country spotlighting and intrusive monitoring, which has time and again proved to be counterproductive," Deputy Permanent Representative of India to the UN, Ambassador Bhagwant Bishnoi said.
Mr Bishnoi, who began his statement by expressing condolences for the victims of the terror attacks in Beirut and Paris, also called for ensuring full respect for sovereign equality, territorial integrity, and political independence of all UN member states.
"The Council must ensure that the indivisibility, interrelatedness and interdependence of all human rights including the right to development is treated in a fair and equal manner," he said.
"The Council must bear in mind the significance of national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds in its dialogue with the member states," Mr Bishnoi said.
