2. The UPR is a human rights mechanism overseen by the UN Human Rights Council. UN member state's are reviewed on their human rights record in a 4/5 year cyclical process by the UN & other member states.

ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/UP… Image
3. States issue recommendations to one another, which can be rejected, noted or accepted. Civil Society Organisations(CSO's)/NGO's can participate in several ways including by submitting a report & taking part in national consultations.

4. In the previous UPR cycle, Stonewall's submission recommended introducing sex self-ID in the UK, changing the Equality Act 2010 to include 'gender identity' & changing the Gender Recognition Act 2004 to include 'non-binary'. #stonewall

5. Proponents of 'gender identity' have been using the UPR mechanism for over a decade and claim to be making 'tangible legal change' in member states.

6. Last year ILGA highlighted the record number of recommendations related to 'gender identity' being issued to one another by member states & produced a report. #ILGA

7. Also noteworthy is lobbying by the International Bar Association for language & concepts contained in the Yogyakarta Principles to be used in the UPR.

See tweet below for IBA statement & their revealing UPR report.

8. The EHRC(UK) 2016 UPR submission described the Equality Act 2010 as the 'most comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation in the world' however EHRC misrepresented EA by replacing 'Sex' with 'Gender' & 'Gender reassignment' with 'Transgender status'.

1. Boycott them for sure. However brands like Coca Cola (who own #CostaCoffee) & Nike have far too much global reach and power for boycotts against them to be truly effective. The answer is to look at the root & challenge the #PGLE & ESG policies created by #BlackRock & the #WEF
2. The Coca Cola Company is a Founding Member of the #PGLE. #Stonewall et al are Members. Below is a vast list of Supporters:

1. Borloz is in the UK. While he seems to hold a 'respectable' position within the UN, his views on "sex" can only be described as those of extreme biology denialism.

He & others who signed the Yogyakarta Principles often discuss their desire to implement sex self-ID into law.
2. However, it is worth noting that they never openly discuss their aim to abolish the recording of "sex" on all official documents including birth certificates.

This is what Principle 31 of YP+10 calls for & as a signatory it is what Borloz endorses.

yogyakartaprinciples.org/principle-31-y… Image
3. It is clear that Borloz does not wish to draw attention to the fact that he seeks to establish international policy, which would disconnect human beings from their registered birth sex, with profound human rights implications.

1. Countries obliterating women's rights:

Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, USA, Uruguay.
2. Lead by Argentina, these 28 states have just made a joint statement at the UN claiming that sex self-ID is an 'international human rights standard'. @RoisinMichaux

3. This is false and there is no obligation for member states to introduce sex self-ID, under any UN Treaty or human rights mechanism. The references they have cited in their statement confirm this fact.

1. Huge Thank You to all groups who submitted reports in the UK's fourth UN Universal Periodic Review. Your contributions have been recorded in the UN's stakeholders' summary. @ForWomenScot @fairplaywomen @ALLIANCELGB @LibVoice4Women @ObjectUK @Transgendertrd @WomensRightsNet
2. We are so pleased to see that the important issues you raised on behalf of women, children and LGB ppl have now been officially recorded by the UN.

We hope this will encourage other groups in the UK & across the world to take part in the UPR process.

3. If you are not based in the UK please see this thread for info about the UPR and why it is important to get involved. The UN OHCHR website contains information and deadlines for all UN member states.

1.We welcome the review/investigation into #Mermaids by the @TNLComFund & @ChtyCommission. There is evidence suggesting funding was previously awarded to them based partly on falsehoods relating to the Yogyakarta Principles (YP). #MermaidsInvestigation

yogyakartaprinciples.org/principles-en/…
2. In 2019 a report was produced by TNLCF's Director for Scotland to assist in a review of the decision to award £500K over five years to #Mermaids after concerns were raised. The report claims that YP are legally binding & that all states must comply.
tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/media/document… ImageImage
3. The YP are non-binding as confirmed by the UK Supreme Court. They do not represent 'international best practice'. They promote highly contested ideas such as making sex self ID the law & abolishing references to sex on a newborn child's birth certificate. Image
