Appreciate @volker_turk High Commissioner @UNHumanRights’ landmark visit to Mongolia, first in nearly 26 years, as he departed today. Mongolia's leadership reaffirmed our shared commitment to democratic values, strong institutions & human rights for all.
"Human rights work is always unfinished business" - concluding his visit @volker_turk welcomes Mongolia’s commitment to advancing human rights, urges stronger protection for rights defenders, & sustained public trust in institutions & in the rule of law.

.@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.

Mongolia faces growing challenges in today’s turbulent world, from extreme weather and urbanization to geopolitical tensions. It remains a strong supporter of global cooperation, joint solutions, and human rights.
My full remarks in Ulaanbaatar today: https://t.co/3TXus8jpTe
Mongolia recognizes that in our troubled world, human rights offer solutions. In Ulaanbaatar, FM @BattsetsegBatm2 and I signed a roadmap to strengthen cooperation. Looking forward to closer engagement in the region on crucial issues, incl climate, business and human rights.
