The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (commonly known as the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)) is a United Nations agency that works to promote and protect the human rights that are guaranteed under international law and stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. The office was established by the UN General Assembly on 20 December 1993[3] in the wake of the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights.
The office is headed by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, who co-ordinates human rights activities throughout the UN System and supervises the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. The current High Commissioner is Zeid Raad Al Hussein of Jordan.[4] On 10 August 2018, the General Assembly approved Secretary-General António Guterres's recommendation that former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet replace Zeid at the conclusion of his mandate; Bachelet is to assume functions on 1 September 2018.[5]
In 2012–2013, the agency had a budget of US $177.3 million[6] and approximately 1,000 employees based in Geneva.[7] It is an ex officio member of the Committee of the United Nations Development Group.[8]

Functions and organization[edit]
Mandate[edit]
The mandate of OHCHR derives from Articles 1, 13 and 55 of the Charter of the United Nations, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action and General Assembly resolution 48/141 of 20 December 1993, by which the Assembly established the post of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. In connection with the programme for reform of the United Nations (A/51/950, para. 79), the OHCHR and the Centre for Human Rights were consolidated into a single OHCHR on 15 September 1997.
Purpose[edit]
The objectives of OHCHR are to:
Promote universal enjoyment of all human rights by giving practical effect to the will and resolve of the world community as expressed by the United Nations
Play the leading role on human rights issues and emphasizes the importance of human rights at the international and national levels
Promote international cooperation for human rights
Stimulate and coordinates action for human rights throughout the United Nations system
Promote universal ratification and implementation of international standards

List of National Basketball Association single-game scoring leaders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 12 April 2018.
Jump to: navigation, search
This is a complete listing of National Basketball Association players who have scored 60 or more points in a game.
This feat has been accomplished 68 times in NBA history. Twenty-five different players have scored 60 or more points in a game. Only four players have scored 60 or more points on more than one occasion: Wilt Chamberlain (32 times), Kobe Bryant (6 times), Michael Jordan (5 times), and Elgin Baylor (4 times). Chamberlain holds the single-game scoring record, having scored 100 in game in 1962.
Jordan (63) and Baylor (61) are the only players to score at least 60 points in a game during the playoffs, each accomplishing this once.
