ÚLTIMA HORA: El Consejo de Derechos Humanos de la 🇺🇳 adopta resolución que crea un mecanismo internacional de rendición de cuentas para #Nicaragua. #HRC49

20 votos a favor, 7 en contra y 20 abstenciones.

Esta resolución es fundamental, por varias razones: 🧵
Crea un "Grupo de (3) expertos en derechos humanos" con el mandato de:

➡️ investigar graves violaciones de los DDHH desde 2018
➡️ identificar a perpetradores
➡️ preservar y recoger pruebas
➡️ brindar recomendaciones a #Nicaragua

Traducción no oficial: ishr.ch/wp-content/upl…
En su labor, el Grupo de Expertos en Derechos Humanos examinará:
➡️ causas estructurales de las violaciones
➡️ formas interseccionales de discriminación
➡️ dimensiones de género de las violaciones

Presentará un informe completo al Consejo de Derechos Humanos en marzo de 2023.
La creación de este mecanismo internacional sobre #Nicaragua, como lo pide el Colectivo 46/2 (coalición de ONG locales e intl) responde a la gran crisis de derechos humanos del país, allanando el camino para futuros procesos de rendición de cuentas.

La resolución adoptada por el Consejo de Derechos Humanos también amplía y refuerza el importante mandato de monitoreo de @mbachelet sobre #Nicaragua.

Su mandato de monitoreo y el mandato de investigación del Grupo de Expertos son necesarios y complementarios.
Este es el reflejo, y el resultado, de un año de esfuerzos conjuntos de activistas nicaragüenses con @ISHRglobal, @raceandequality y varias ONGs.

Agradecemos el liderazgo de: @CanadaGeneva @ParaguayONU @ChileONUGinebra @BrazilUNGeneva @ColombiaONU @EcuadorONU @PeruEnLaONU
Saludos el apoyo de @MisionMexOI y @ArgentinaONUOMC a la creación de un mecanismo de investigación sobre Nicaragua.

Lamentamos que el nuevo gobierno hondureño de @XiomaraCastroZ sea uno de los únicos 7 países a oponerse a la adopción de esta resolución en 🇺🇳 . @HondurasGinebra

BREAKING: 🇺🇳 Human Rights Council adopts resolution creating an international accountability mechanism on #Nicaragua. #HRC49

20 votes in favor, 7 against, and 20 abstentions.

This is a major development, for several reasons: 🧵
The resolution creates a 'Group of (three) Human Rights Experts' (GHRE) mandated to:
➡️ investigate serious human rights violations since 2018
➡️ identify perpetrators
➡️ preserve and collect evidence
➡️ provide recommendations to #Nicaragua
Full text: ishr.ch/wp-content/upl…
Very importantly, in doing so, the Group of Human Rights Experts will look at:
➡️ structural causes of violations
➡️ intersectional forms of discrimination
➡️ gender dimensions of the violations

It will present a full report to the Human Rights Council in March 2023.

JUST IN: 🇺🇳Human Rights Committee (responsible for monitoring implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - in short, the ICCPR) will review 🇭🇰#HongKong and 🇲🇴#Macau at its next session (27 June to 29 July)

Why is this review crucial? Read the🧵
The ICCPR is one of the ten UN treaty bodies: the committees of experts tasked with regularly reviewing how States implement the nine core international human rights treaties they ratified.

@ISHRglobal explains fundamentals on the treaty bodies here ➡️academy.ishr.ch/learn/treaty-b…
The Human Rights Committee (different from the UN Human Rights Council) is the expert committee that looks at how States respect, protect, and fulfill civil and political rights guaranteed in the ICCPR: ohchr.org/en/professiona…

Chinese lawyer #JiangTianyong @jiangty02
left prison exactly 3 years ago. Yet, he still can't move or communicate freely.

Today, he completes an arbitrary supplemental sentence of 'deprivation of political rights', yet Chinese govt still harasses him.

Thread 🧵
Jiang Tianyong's 'release' is a key example of the phenomenon of 'non-release release', documented by civil society: upon completing jail sentences, human rights lawyers are put under de facto house arrest, constant surveillance and harassment, unable to reunite with the family.
This is justified by the Chinese authorities under a supplemental sentence of 'deprivation of political rights' (3 years for Jiang).

Article 56 of 🇨🇳's Criminal Law imposes such a sentence on all those charged with national security crimes (ie the vast majority of activists).
