Dai Bing said that under the instigation of a few countries, the current human rights field has a serious tendency of politicization, and confrontation and division have intensified.
A few countries wantonly interfere in other countries' internal affairs under the guise of human rights, and most member states are firmly opposed to this.

For developing countries, especially the least developed countries, the rights to subsistence and development are the primary human rights.
It is hoped that OHCHR will promote various human rights in a balanced manner, pay attention to the reasonable demands of developing countries, further increase its attention and investment in economic, social and cultural rights and the right to development, and help developing countries strengthen human rights capacity building on the basis of the consent of the countries concerned .

At present, the composition of the OHCHR is greatly unbalanced, and developing countries are seriously underrepresented. China and many developing countries are deeply concerned about this.
China calls for fundamental reform of the OHCHR to ensure inclusiveness and geographical balance.
Turck, 57, from Austria, has been the Under-Secretary-General for Policy Affairs in the Office of the UN Secretary-General since January 25 this year.
