"This has to be someone who is a person of the highest integrity and the highest possible international standing. Someone who should have a well-established record of advocacy on human rights issues, someone who is able to deal directly with governments in quiet diplomacy when that is called for, and when there are possibilities of achieving results through quiet discussions, but at the same time be prepared to be vocal and outspoken when that is called for. This person -- he or she-- has to really be a human rights champion."
“这個人必須非常正直，國家地位盡可能的高。有些人有建立了相當好的人權問題擁護記錄，有些人在有需要時，有能力直接處理政府外交問題，並且通過討論，可能會取得成功。同時在有需要時，同時做好發言的準備。這個人，一定是人權擁護者。”
Former High Commissioner Louise Arbour's tenure has generally received high marks from human rights groups, but was attacked by many governments for her criticism of their rights records.
前任高級執行官Louise Arbour的任期廣泛得到了來自人權組織的高度評價，但是她也因她對他們人權紀錄的評價被許多政府人士攻擊。
Israel came under fire for its military action against Palestinians and its war with Hezbollah in 2006 that killed more than a thousand Lebanese civilians. Arbour cited China for its use of the death penalty and said the United States' war on terror was eroding the worldwide ban on torture.
2006年，以色列對抗巴勒斯坦人的軍事行動，該戰爭對抗真主黨害死了1000多黎巴嫩人死亡，遭到了譴責。Arbour提及中國采用的死刑并表示恐怖分子的美國戰爭正在侵蝕全國對酷刑的禁令。
