UN Human Rights Council elects 15 members in uncontested vote

The UN General Assembly has filled 15 seats on the Human Rights Council with a single uncontested slate, meaning all candidates were elected without opposition. Rights groups criticised the process, arguing that the lack of competition undermines the Council's credibility and accountability, particularly as several countries elected have been accused of poor human rights records themselves.
Why now: Rights groups are criticising the lack of competition in the election and the inclusion of countries with questionable human rights records.
