🙌very glad to see the High Commissioner reviving regular contacts w UN human rights experts that cooperation & dialogue is crucial to the coherence of the whole UN human rights machinery 👇 openglobalrights.org/word-of…

A word of advice to the next High Commissioner for Human Rights: engage with UN human rights experts

Michelle Bachelet will not seek a second term as High Commissioner for Human Rights, kicking off a race to find a suitable replacement.

A productive meeting w/@UN Committee against Torture. Though strictly prohibited in int'l law, torture is still being practiced globally. I call on States to ensure its total eradication uphold basic tenets of humanity. Torture has no place in our world. #humanrights75

Today, in an open letter, @volker_turk @UNHumanRights called on all to take action commit to achieving gender parity on @UNTreatyBodies. Ensuring equal participation of women in political life, he wrote, is essential to respond to the most pressing crises confronting our world.

🚨 I spoke to @GenevaSolutions about the lack of female candidates for upcoming elections at UN anti torture body ⚧️ the whole elections system needs to be reformed ⚖️independent vetting for all candidates needed, now! Cc @GqualCampaign genevasolutions.news/human-r…

UN torture body’s disappearing act for women - Geneva Solutions

Female representation in the Committee Against Torture is sorely missing, and upcoming elections are not expected to reverse the trend, to the regret of human rights campaigners.

📣NGOs urge States to nominate #women to the @UN Committee against Torture. With 5 vacancies to fill States have so far nominated only men, creating a real risk that the CAT will be left with only 1 female member, significantly undermining its legitimacy & effectiveness 👇🏽 🧵
