.@volker_turk ends #Mongolia visit welcoming the country's positive commitment to the UN human rights system - at a time when some powerful global actors are openly defying and even vilifying human rights.
Democratic space cannot be taken for granted. It needs to be actively defended through stronger institutional checks & balances. Mongolia’s rapid infrastructure & economic development should be guided by human rights impact assessments & meaningful consultations, particularly with the affected communities.
