UN Special Procedures
@UN_SPExperts
The Special Procedures of @UN_HRC are human rights experts independent from any govt or organisation, serving in their individual capacity. #StandUp4HumanRights
- The appointment of judges must be done right, says UN expert @SRjudgeslawyers @UN_HRC. "They must be legal, procedurally correct & fair and based on merit." #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
00:00 - Freedom of expression being manipulated to weaken whole #humanrights system & create havoc, says @Irenekhan @UN_HRC. States must not sacrifice rights for economic growth or technological progress, but must make human rights core to such progress. #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
00:00 - Women and girls deprived of liberty face specific, often overlooked risks of torture and ill-treatment. On #VictimsOfTorture Day, UN anti-torture mechanisms call for gender-sensitive prevention, accountability and redress. #SPT #CAT #TortureFund #SRTorture ohchr.org/en/statements-…
- Rethinking progress: @srpoverty calls to fight poverty beyond growth & expand social protection @UN_HRC. “Poverty is a product of policy choices. Ending it requires democratic participation, political courage & redefining progress.” #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- #Peru: UN experts urge reversal of disciplinary actions against judges applying international #humanrights law. “We call on Peru to safeguard judicial independence & ensure no further proceedings are initiated." ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- The normalisation of surveillance ecosystems worldwide must respect human rights, says @Ginitastar @UN_HRC. Pervasive surveillance creates chilling effects, eroding trust, impacting mental health and limiting the work of human rights defenders. #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
00:00 - In a time of declining democracy, loopholes that allow autocratising leaders to appoint loyal judges must be closed, says UN expert @SRjudgeslawyers @UN_HRC. “Appointing meritorious judges safeguards public trust.” #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- .@UN_WGDAWG urges action to ensure AI serves equality, not discrimination @UN_HRC. “Without deliberate, gender-responsive governance, these systems risk amplifying exclusion, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and exacerbating structural inequalities.” #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
00:00 - States, businesses & investors must adopt rights-based approaches to food security, says @WGBizHRs @UN_HRC. Calls on States to recognise influence of agribusiness on food security & treat corporate activities in food sector as a public policy issue. #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- The UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances @WGEID will conduct an official visit to #Guatemala from 23 June to 2 July 2026. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- Digital surveillance related chilling effects must be addressed before long-term societal damage becomes irreversible says @Ginitastar @UN_HRC. Issues stark warning about harmful impact of widespread intrusive, high-risk surveillance systems. #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
- Expert @UNSRVAW calls for action to end violence against mothers @UN_HRC. "Motherhood remains largely undervalued and mischaracterised as a purely private choice rather than a public good," she says. "Societal attitudes must shift." #HRC62 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
