U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said on Saturday that she had urged the Chinese government to review its counter-terrorism policies to ensure that they comply with international human rights standards.

However, Bachelet also reiterated that her six-day trip to China, which ends on Saturday and included a visit to the western region of Xinjiang, was not an investigation into the country's human rights policies.
