UN human rights system being hollowed out, critics warn
Original: ❝The UN's human rights system is being hollowed out so it can be captured
A warning is being raised that the UN's human rights machinery is being deliberately weakened from within, leaving it vulnerable to capture by states seeking to block scrutiny of their own records. Observers in Geneva argue that funding cuts, staff reductions and procedural obstruction are eroding the system's independence and effectiveness, with serious consequences for victims worldwide.
Why now: Concerns over UN budget cuts and political pressure on its human rights bodies have intensified recently.
