Russia, Iran Sending Top Envoys To UN’s Human Rights Council

RFL/RE – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will help kick off the latest and longest-ever session of the UN’s top human rights body on February 27, with Iran’s foreign minister, a senior Russian envoy, and the top diplomats of France and Germany among scores of leaders set to take part.
