South Africa's re-election to the United Nations Human Rights Council is an indication of the world's continued confidence in the country's commitment to human rights. That's according to South Africa's UN envoy speaking moments after the country was re-elected for a successive three-year team to the Geneva-based human rights body. Running on a clean slate, four African countries including Rwanda, Tunisia and Egypt were elected while Russia received the fewest number of votes in the East European slate, losing out to both Croatia and Hungary.
