Pakistan re-elected to UN rights body.
Pakistan has been re-elected to the United Nations Human Rights Council despite opposition from activist groups over its abysmal human rights records.
Among the five candidates from the Asia-Pacific region vying for four seats in the UN's premiere human rights body, Pakistan secured the highest number of votes.
In a secret-ballot voting in the 193-member UN General Assembly on that race, Pakistan secured 169 votes, Uzbekistan received 164, Nepal 150, China 139 and Saudi Arabia lost the race with just 90 votes.
Russia and Cuba, running unopposed, also won the seats.
