Tistounet reminds that Council members can vote to choose a President if no consensus from regional group or others.Even the rotation order is just a practice & can be changed by agreement. Maybe GRULAC or AFRICA want to step in? Or WEOG can stay for another year? Anything goes.
We looked at members from Asia— who would you choose as #HRC46 President? Bahrain, Bangladesh,China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Marshall Islands, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, or Uzbekistan. There’s no agreement among them.
