The long-awaited document on human rights violations in the Chinese region was released in extremis on Wednesday, shortly before midnight, in Geneva. It mentions "credible evidence" of torture and sexual violence against the Uighur minority and calls on the international community to act. Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, whose last day at the helm of the High Commissioner's office was today, kept her promise to publish the report, despite pressure from Beijing. But for Le Temps, her procrastination will have "unfortunate consequences on the credibility of the UN". The publication of the report took place "almost on the sly while, in Beijing, the offices are still closed, and while, in the West, attention is focused on the death of former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev," notes the Swiss daily. "The manner in which Michelle Bachelet has proceeded is indicative of a great unease," the newspaper says.
