'Selective': India Flags Politicisation Of UNHRC, Says ‘Credibility Rests On Even-Handedness’

India has called for fairness and equal treatment at the United Nations Human Rights Council, warning that selective approaches and country-specific mandates could deepen divisions rather than improve human rights conditions. Addressing the UN General Assembly, India's representative Bhavika Mangalanandan stressed the need for dialogue, cooperation and genuine partnerships. India also raised concerns over terrorism, funding priorities and duplication of work between the Human Rights Council and the UN General Assembly.
