KSA to head up UNHCR. Unbelievable.
I take it everyone has seen this story?
Fury after Saudi Arabia 'chosen to head key UN human rights panel' - World - News - The Independent This makes a total mockery of the Human Rights Committee. How can a country that allows stoning, crucifiction, beheading etc be permitted to take on this role? It's a disgrace. |

They or another Human Rights body were looking to build a headquarters in the Diplomatic Quarter in Riyadh. I thought that was odd when it dropped on my desk

Do you think it's acceptable for Saudi Arabia with their current and previous human rights records to be given the lead a Human Rights panel?

Re: KSA to head up UNHCR. Unbelievable.
I think you'll find the following 3-min video interesting. Channel 4 grills the PM on the Saudi issue and the deal the UK made with Saudi Arabia to support the latter in their bid to head the UN Human Rights Committee.

Re: KSA to head up UNHCR. Unbelievable.
why did we do the deal?
completely eluded answering that question. |
