The relationship between the High Commissioner for Human Rights and member nations of the United Nations is expected to be one of cooperation for the improvement of the rights of the people of the countries. The member states are expected to have the most cordial and friendly relationship with the High Commissioner's office so as to enable the United Nations through its human rights mechanisms to assist the people of a country to have a better life in all aspects by the improvement of their human rights. The High Commissioner is symbolically the representative of the commitments of the United Nations to create an enabling environment in each country for the full enjoyment of human rights. In short the High Commissioner's mission is to be the friendly supervisor over the global human rights mission of the United Nations and thereby to ensure that each government does its utmost to ensure that their people enjoy a better life through respect for human rights.
