GENEVA (AFP) - UN human rights chief Navi Pillay on Wednesday urged Mali and Guinea Bissau to follow Senegal's lead in holding "free, fair and transparent" elections.
Congratulating Senegal for its peaceful March 25 presidential run-off, Pillay noted: "Mali also had a good record of democratic elections over the past two decades, and I hope it gets back on that track as soon as possible."
