"Madam Chair, I wish to list 5 of the world’s worst violators of religious freedom:
🇨🇳 China
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇪🇷 Eritrea

"I now list 5 members who sit here on this U.N. Human Rights Council:
🇨🇳 China
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇪🇷 Eritrea

.."
⬆️(speech I gave in July)

"Under Art. 9 of this Council’s charter, member states have a duty to uphold 'the highest standards of human rights.' So why has there never been a single resolution for religious minorities oppressed by Council members like Pakistan & Saudi Arabia?"
"Now, we’ve just heard from Pakistan on behalf of the 57-member Islamic Group of states. They spoke of Islamophobia and of criticism of religion..."
"Yet, if they truly care about Muslims and for their religious freedoms, why has Pakistan and the Islamic Group failed to introduce a single resolution, a single urgent session, or a single commission of inquiry for one million Muslims currently being detained in camps, and..."
"..and persecuted for their religion by China?

Thank you, Madam Chair."

I am still waiting for an answer.

No joke: #China joins U.N. Human Rights Council panel, where it will help select the U.N.'s next world monitors on freedom of speech, enforced disappearances & arbitrary detention—and on health. That's like making a pyromaniac into the town fire chief. unwatch.org/china-joins-u-…
China’s appointment to the UNHRC’s influential Consultative Group, comprised of only five nations, was announced in a letter submitted to the Council on Wednesday by Oman on behalf of the Asian Group, and confirmed by a notice on the website of the UN human rights office.
By joining the UNHRC panel, #China over the next year will influence the selection of at least 17 UN human rights mandate-holders who investigate, monitor & publicly report on specific country situations, or on thematic issues in all parts of the world, such as freedom of speech.

1/ SHAME: Asked by @yvonne_tg @thepulse_rthk about #Taiwan's participation in the U.N.'s World Health Organization, its official Bruce Aylward says "I can't...could't hear"; then hangs up; and then when called back & asked again, he quickly shuts down the interview. #Covid_19
2/ Bowing to political pressure by China, the WHO excludes Taiwan from the world health summit & dozens of WHO technical expert meetings, creating loopholes in global health security networks that could quicken the spread of pandemics in Asia and beyond.

3/ The World Health Organization failed to communicate Taiwan's warning in December of possible human-to-human transmission of the Wuhan coronavirus, the Financial Times reported.
