33603 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: What concerns, if any, does the Government hold about the process by which Secretary-General António Guterres nominated Volker Türk for a second term as High Commissioner for Human Rights, and to what extent did any such process concerns, as distinct from concerns about Mr Türk personally, inform New Zealand's abstention on 24 July 2026?
