UN investigates UK human rights body after ‘smear’ on chairwoman

[IwantToRetire]

Unfounded allegations against an equalities chief have led to threats of human rights blacklisting against Britain by the United Nations.

Baroness Falkner of Margravine was cleared of bullying, harassment and discrimination and given an apology after an internal investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which she chairs.

A global human rights body has opened a review, based partly on the bullying smear, that could limit the EHRC’s involvement with UN human rights mechanisms including its Human Rights Council.

A dispute over transgender issues is the main driver of the decision by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (Ganhri) to put Britain’s equality body under the microscope by reviewing whether it should keep its A status as an independent monitor.

Original story is in the Telegraph but cant find it.

This Times version can be read here https://archive.ph/Rbnrm

”Both seem to indicate that those running the show nationally / globally either have no critical thinking skills at all, or have out-sourced all thinking, presumably to unelected special interest groups / global corporations.”

My concern was that people tend to judge others based on what they themselves do and how they act. Which indicates those at the top are both lazy and unethical and therefore assume those lower down the pecking order are like them. Pretty much fits with the evidence emerging about the recent behaviour of the Conservative government.

Cant see if this has a thread of its own, but anyway thought this letter to GANHRI from Sex Matters and other should be added to this thread

And now WPUK have now also written

From the Telegraph link:

Any decision to remove the EHRC’s so-called “A-status” would <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/3pVc6/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/27/britain-faces-un-blacklist-over-trans-rights-lobby-ehrc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">see Britain lose its place at the table of the UN Human Rights Council and a number of UN bodies.

Yes, and the Committee has such exalted defenders of human rights:

Algeria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Newcastle United Saudi Arabia, Guatemala, Albania, Hungary...

It's as if they have no credibility as it stands.

I can't find any evidence that she was cleared or received an apology, merely that Badenoch suspended the investigation. Does anyone have a link suggesting otherwise?

Look harder then

Behold wims. A man hath arrived! With jobs for us to do.

Ah, a circus performer on an upturned tub, clapping and flapping, catching a ball and going, "Arp! Arp! Arp!"

Ah the UN. virus? Virus? What virus? Ah eh there's definitely no independent way of verifying the source.
Ukraine was invaded? Must be a local dispute.
They raped who? Are you sure?

The uk said the man is not a woman. Finally, a bad egg!

Farcical.
