35889 (2026). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: Further to the reply to question 33604 (2026), has the additional information that led New Zealand to abstain on the United Nations General Assembly vote of 24 July 2026 to reappoint Volker Türk as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights subsequently been assessed as accurate?
