A timeline of @UN complicity in genocide:
2006: @UNHumanRights starts secretly giving #Beijing names of dissidents who plan to attend @UN meetings. Everyone keeps the secret.
2007: Everyone keeps the secret
2008: "
2009: "
2010: "
2011: "
2012: "
2013: I find out and report it. Nobody internally cares, so I report to @EU_Commission. @UNHumanRights lies so @EU_UNGeneva does nothing.
2014: I report.
2015: I report.
2016: @IrelandUNGeneva use my name and evidence to counter @UN lies. They briefly think it stops.
2017: @UNHumanRights puts out a press release admitting it is still policy to give names to #Beijing, but lying about me. I am later awarded compensation for lies. Later that year, after criticism, @UN lies that no such policy ever existed.
2018: @UNHumanRights lies to @NLinGeneva. Lies repeated by Minister in Dutch parliament. I use national law to force correction, take @DutchMFA to court and win.
2019: @UN defends policy at UN courts, claiming unpublished list of people planning to attend is somehow public.
2019 (cont): @UN_Spokesperson openly lies on camera, saying no names handed over because it would be dangerous.
2020: @UN finally says I am a whistleblower. Head of management should at this point be investigated for retaliation. I keep asking for investigation of policy.
2021: @UN_Spokesperson lies twice in two weeks about policy. Head of management Pollard, who should be under investigation, going to illegally fire me for whistleblowing.
2006-2021: No investigation of the policy is ever conducted, @UN refuses to even answer victims of policy.

Today marks eight years since I found out about and reported @UNHumanRights secretly handing names of #Uyghur, #Tibetan and other activists to China. @UN has lied to governments, to the press, to the activists themselves. @antonioguterres investigate and stop complicity. /1
Some @UN stories:
2013-2017: never happened, to @EU_UNGeneva and all govts who asked.
2017: ongoing, in a press release
2018: happened, but @UN was only complicit in international crimes for a full DECADE (2006-2015), so move along.
2019: ongoing, in sworn court testimony. /2
If I had invented such an egregious policy, firing me would be easy. @UN is now investigating me FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. I was not "authorised" to do that, but @UN_Spokesperson was "authorised" to lie. An 8-year cover up implicates all of senior management. /3
The @UN is investigating and planning to fire me for blowing the whistle to national govts on @UN giving names of their nationals to China, so China could target their families. @UN has *never* investigated those responsible or stopped handing over names. /1
The person who ordered the investigation (@UN's head of management) is *supposed* to be under investigation for retaliating against me. @antonioguterres, why did you refuse your own Ethics Office saying the investigation into the retaliators should be referred externally? /3 of 3
.@UNHumanRights still claims a right to lie. So, here's the truth @hrw@AmnestyEU@UNWatch@ISHRglobal, @WIN. This is a quote from the final Ethics findings: "the management was naturally and perhaps primarily interested in good relations with the member state (China);" /1
the Complainant (me) was interested in human rights and protection of human rights activists. OHCHR was, by virtue of the Complainant’s whistleblowing, placed in a very awkward diplomatic position by a human rights issue that it struggled to handle well... /2
A whistleblower’s reporting of such a practice, which was contrary to fundamental UN principles and values, is exactly the sort of activity that must be protected; it is far more important than minor infractions of bureaucratic rules." I couldn't agree more. /3
