United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday stressed that COVID-19 vaccines must be a global public good, accessible and affordable for all.
"Vaccine equity affirms human rights, vaccine nationalism denies it," he said at the opening of the 46th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council.
The UN chief described the latest failure to ensure equity in vaccination efforts as a kind of "moral outrage," as just ten countries have administered more than 75 percent of all COVID-19 vaccines.
The UN Human Rights Council's 46th regular session is expected to last until March 23.

Bomi, a county in the #Tibet autonomous region, sits among snow-capped mountains and is home to more than 2,000 glaciers. However, it is most famous for the "Red Building", whose revolutionary history makes it a key attraction for tourists. The name reflects both the building's color and China's revolutionary spirit.
In 1959, the central government announced the dissolution of the local Tibetan government and the launch of democratic reforms to replace the dominant feudal serfdom system. The building is best known for its role as a command center during the "Battle to defend Zhamu", which occurred in January 1959, during an armed rebellion by members of the Tibetan upper class.
In 2013, the Red Building was designated a national cultural relic protection site. It has since been the subject of government-led protection efforts. In 2018, a project was launched and led by the county's cultural bureau to collect documents about the building and Bomi's revolutionary history.
