The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights' intervention application in three Supreme Court re #CAA is quite remarkable.

Sets out international legal standards that SC should consider without 'taking a side' per se. But a blind man can see the law is discriminatory.

What is particularly powerful in this application is how UNHCHR Michelle Bachelet Jeria points out that India played a key role in making the right to equal protection of laws part of international HR treaties.

What a small nation we have become, from one that dreamed so big.

That @MEAIndia response is so disheartening. Shows there is zero introspection and zero willingness to even consider the myriad international legal obligations of India that the #CAA could affect. One can hope the Hon'ble Supreme Court will be more open-minded, but...
