UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations General Assembly on Friday approved former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet as the next UN human rights chief by acclamation.

Bachelet will replace Jordanian diplomat Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, and begin her 4-year term starting Sept. 1, 2018 and expiring Aug. 31, 2022.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday proposed to appoint Bachelet for the key post of High Commissioner for Human Rights that is headquartered in Geneva.
