33602 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: What concerns, if any, does the Government hold about Volker Türk's performance as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and did any such concerns contribute to New Zealand's abstention on the 24 July 2026 General Assembly vote on his reappointment?
