United Nations (UN) secretary general, Ban Moon was on an official visit to China last week. It is said that he lobbied the China’s vote as he campaign for a second term. However, this came with a critical cost. Human Rights activists are concerned that Mr. Ban failed to raise the question of human rights during a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao. Philippe Bolopion, U.N. advocacy director for Human Rights Watch said, “Ban’s failure to raise human rights issues, even in private, with the Chinese president was inexcusable.” On the other hand, UN officials dismissed the allegation, claiming that Moon discussed human rights with “other Chinese leaders.”
