Moldova elected to the UN Human Rights Council again
The Republic of Moldova will serve on the United Nations Human Rights Council for the second time. Chisinau has secured a three-year term for 2027–2029, according to the country's diplomatic service. In this capacity, the Republic of Moldova will participate in examining issues regarding respect for human rights worldwide and in adopting recommendations and resolutions in this field.
The election took place in New York after a diplomatic campaign coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and supported by Moldovan diplomatic missions—particularly those in New York and Geneva.
"This result reaffirms the Republic of Moldova's firm commitment to the values and principles of the United Nations, in alignment with the objectives of its European integration path as a candidate for European Union membership," the MFA stated.
Over the next three years, the ministry said the Republic of Moldova aims to promote equal opportunities, access to education, and citizen participation in democratic life. Key priorities also include combating disinformation, protecting human rights in the digital sphere, and defending individuals affected by conflicts and crises.
The mandate includes involvement in international efforts to ensure accountability for human rights violations and to strengthen international cooperation in this field.
The UN Human Rights Council comprises 47 member states and monitors the global human rights situation. The body examines cases and situations involving violations of fundamental rights, adopts resolutions, and issues recommendations.
Council members are elected to three-year terms, and the Republic of Moldova will hold one of the 47 seats during the 2027–2029 period.
