The thirty-second session of the Human Rights Council was opened by Choi Kyong-Lim, President of the Council, who informed that, for the first time, all 193 United Nations Member States were present. Their participation was made possible thanks to the Voluntary Technical Assistance Trust Fund.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein provided an update on the activities of his Office since the previous session. High Commissioner Zeid stressed that the non-cooperation by some Governments would not result in the Office remaining silent in its scrutiny of their human rights situations, and urged every State to fully comply with international human right norms, particularly in situations of conflict. Refugee law had also be respected, especially the principle of non-refoulement, and the countries of Europe had to find a way to address the current migration crisis in a manner that respected human rights, including in the context of the European Union-Turkey agreement. He expressed his concern about the increase in the detention of migrants in Europe, including in “hotspots” in Greece and Italy, to which even unaccompanied children were frequently subjected, and deplored the widespread anti-migrant rhetoric in some European countries. Another great concern was the narrowing of democratic space in many countries around the globe.
