联合国大会周五投票通过沃尔克·图克的连任提议，以144票赞成、10票反对、13票弃权的结果批准其再任四年 1。尽管获得压倒性支持，这次投票仍然引发了围绕程序透明度的争议，反对方包括美国、俄罗斯和以色列。
秘书长古特雷斯通过私下协商后低调提名图克 1，这一做法遭到美国副大使杰夫·巴托斯的批评。巴托斯表示："如果这个大会容忍程序越权、暗箱交易和联合国职位的滥用，将会有后果" 1。以色列外交部更是将此举称为古特雷斯的"最新道德失败" 1。
图克面临的反对声浪与其任期内的立场直接相关。他因对以色列加沙行动的批评和对中国维吾尔人政策的立场遭到部分国家的反对 1。拉美国家包括尼加拉瓜、阿根廷和巴拉圭也对其重新任命表示异议 1。
欧盟则给予支持。欧盟驻联合国大使费格尔·迈瑟表示："欧盟对图克过去四年的有效和廉正履职表示衷心支持" 1。
图克原定任期截止日期为2024年10月11日 1，其新任期将使他继续担任这一自1993年创设以来的重要职位 1。
Volker Türk secured a second four-year term as UN human rights commissioner in a General Assembly vote on Friday, receiving 144 votes in favor, 10 against, and 13 abstentions 1. His reelection comes despite opposition from the United States, Russia, and Israel 1.
Secretary-General António Guterres nominated Türk following private negotiations in a process that sparked controversy over procedural transparency 1. US Deputy Ambassador Jeff Bartos criticized the selection method, stating: "If this General Assembly tolerates procedural overreach, backroom dealings, and the abuse of UN positions, there will be consequences" 1. Israel's Foreign Ministry characterized the reappointment as Guterres's "latest moral failure" 1.
Türk's reelection faced resistance from several quarters due to his critical stances on Israel's military operations in Gaza and his positions on China's policies toward Uyghur populations 1. Several Latin American nations, including Nicaragua, Argentina, and Paraguay, registered objections to his reappointment 1.
Support for Türk's continuation came from the European Union, with EU Ambassador Feigel Meyster expressing: "The EU lends its full support to Volker Türk's effective and principled performance over the past four years" 1.
Türk's first term was set to expire on October 11, 2024 1. The position of High Commissioner for Human Rights was established in 1993 1.
