This is the kind of granular detail we need from UN reform, @USUN @USAmbHRC @AmbUNReform. Should "independent" & unpaid Special Procedures be funded through HRC resolutions, or should they essentially be able to request a salary for their work from a repressive régime?

Beijing gave $150,000 to the UN's "independent" expert on counter-terrorism. @mbachelet's shameful report on #Uyghurs, after China's edits, recommended only that Beijing check its own counter-terror laws. Now, who would normally follow up on that? H/T @UNWatch
Prof Ben Saul - UN SR Human Rights & Counterterror@profbensaul

With the UN facing a financial crisis, my mandate as Special Rapporteur welcomes donations & philanthropic partnerships to support our independent expert work in defence of human rights worldwide

@HillelNeuer It is *impossible* to over-state how very, very unusual and concerning that donation is. China, for years, consistently gave $800,000, split between SIDS/LDCs (to ensure condition of not recognising Taiwan), and the right to development section. Has he ever said Uyghur?

Radical pro-Hamas Australian academic Ben Saul is now advertising for donations to support his activities as a UN special rapporteur. x.com/profbensaul/st… Not mentioned: He received $150,000 from the Chinese Communist Party. (Source: docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/58/70…, at p. 59)

I'm shocked - shocked I tell you! - that the UK foreign service, whose *only* response to extensive evidence of the UN handing UK citizens' names to China was to ask the guilty party if he was guilty, also covered up an ambassador's ties to China. @aliciakearns @EmilyThornberry
David Maddox@DavidPBMaddox

Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@fbermingham Mélenchon is also a Uyghur genocide apologist - the only "no" votes in the Assemblée Nationale were from his party/personality cult, LFI, and one of his deputies, @clem_autain, openly and outrageously lied about international law on the floor of parliament.

The current president of @ipinst is Prince Zeid, former High Commissioner for Human Rights who was found guilty of covering up child rape in the Central African Republic and viciously retaliating against whistleblowers. Men who cover up abuse thrive in the humanitarian world.

Testimony from a former intern sheds light on how Jeffrey Epstein used the International Peace Institute to attract, move, and control young women under the guise of diplomatic opportunities –including in Geneva. ➡️ l.genevasolutions.news/PY

Developing countries need a mechanism to share experience and have a voice in global debt talks. The Borrowers' Plaform, a member state led initiative supported by @unctad launched yesterday is a great step forward.unctad.org/topic/debt-and…

Heureux d’accueillir en visite d’État mon ami le Président Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani. Face à la destabilisation du monde et aux défis communs, la Mauritanie et la France sont deux partenaires de confiance. Nous renforçons notre partenariat : répondre aux conséquences de la déstabilisation régionale et de la crise humanitaire, protéger nos biens communs, ouvrir des perspectives à la jeunesse, renforcer nos investissements économiques croisés, et bâtir des projets très concrets au service des peuples. À un mois du sommet Africa Forward de Nairobi, cette rencontre porte une conviction simple : entre l’Afrique et la France, l’avenir se construit par le respect, l’ambition et l’action. Projetés vers l’avenir. Ensemble.

@FrenchResponse Hey, @FrenchResponse, why did you cover up for Eric Tistounet, the UN official who admitted under oath handing names of dissidents to China? Is China not an autocracy? Does lying to you not matter if a French citizen does it? Does China's new world order look good to you?

Ever wondered what UN staff discuss over coffee? Well, I have a pretty good idea what's going down in Geneva this morning. There are still spots for the play next week. Come and find out if Volker Türk is willing to face me in an environment where facts matter.

Guterres literally takes a $20 million a year bribe that requires him to support China's #BeltandRoad initiative. $10 million for the blue-washing $10 million for his pet projects, often hiring family members. It's called the "Peace and Development Trust Fund." Orwellian.
António Guterres@antonioguterres

Many countries are trapped in cycles of unresolved debt crises & held back by an unfair system of vast debt repayments that drain public resources & undermine long-term investment. The Borrowers Platform – a new mechanism supported by the @UN – is a breakthrough in global financing – bringing borrowing countries together learn from each other & speak with a collective voice. un.org/sg/en/content/…

Several of the people whose names the UN human rights office passed to China were detained either en route or at Geneva airport. States need to organise and finally stand up to repression. Continued complicity is not the answer.
Rushan Abbas@RushanAbbas

My husband, @AHakimIdris a U.S. citizen, was detained and deported from Malaysia simply because Beijing demanded it. This is a chilling example of how China successfully weaponizes third countries to carry out its harassment of Americans. What happened to Hakim should be a wake-up call for the world: China’s audacity to target citizens of sovereign nations has reached an unprecedented level. If we do not address this escalation now, no advocate, researcher, or citizen is safe from Beijing’s reach, regardless of where they are in the world. My sister, #GulshanAbbas, is already a direct victim of the CCP's transnational repression. Each act of retaliation against my family only strengthens our resolve to fight harder to expose the CCP’s crimes against humanity and the ongoing genocide with even greater determination. freedomhouse.org/article/detain…

@USAmbUN And you need policies for receiving reports from internal whistleblowers - even JIU found we uncover more fraud, waste and abuse than all other methods combined. Several people who contacted me (on covid, sex abuse and funding terror) did not come forward bc of inevitable firing.

Glad to see the Government have a change of heart tonight over banning non-fatal strangulation in porn. Even though Labour MPs were whipped to vote against @AliciaKearns and my amendment to ban this misogynistic practice last year, tonight they have at last voted it through.

@SenateForeign @USAmbUN @AmbUNReform @UN Whistleblowers have been trying to get UN reform for years - even internal UN reports admit we are responsible for uncovering more fraud and abuse than all other methods combined. Every UN whistleblower is fired. All of us are contacted by people too scared to come forward.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman
The fact that @USAmbUN and @AmbUNReform were able to cut the @UN budget by $570 million speaks volumes about the Trump Administration and its commitment to the American people. I'm glad both ambassadors spoke before the committee today about their efforts to reform the UN.
