UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein addresses the Human Rights Council
The seventh video of the UN Human Rights Office campaign to honour women human rights defenders in commemoration of Beijing+20.
The High Commissioner for Human Rights explains why he is a defender of women's human rights. He emphasizes the centrality of women's human rights to the mission of his Office, and laments the reality of threats and violence against women human rights defenders -- all for calling for their most basic human rights to be upheld. He calls for the elimination of discrimination and prejudice against women and insists on the need for all human rights defenders to be defenders of women's rights.

Opening Statement by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein and srilankan war videos

15 September 2015
The Human Rights Council started during its noon meeting a clustered interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Pablo De Greiff, and the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, Ariel Dulitzky.
Mr. De Greiff said prevention was crucial as an object of concrete and deliberate policy making that could be planned, budgeted, implemented and monitored. There was no such thing as a universal non-recurrence policy that could be applied to any type of transition. Context, needs and stage in the transitional process mattered as much as what institutions were apt to accomplish, and the violations that needed to be redressed most or that were most likely to occur. Institutional reforms were not enough, and interventions in the societal sphere were needed to strengthen civil society and transform attitudes and mindsets. Prevention also required the strengthening of civil society, including establishing legal empowerment regimes at the community level and creating an enabling environment for civil society organizations.
Mr. Dulitzky said it was vital to execute reforms in order for the United Nations to comply with promises made to victims of enforced disappearances 35 years ago. The only effective and lasting security could be one that upheld human rights without discrimination. When States scarified human rights in the name of fighting terrorism, they increased the effects of terrorism. The Working Group had started processing 384 new cases of enforced disappearances in the past year, and more than 43,000 cases were still unresolved, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. States should take specific measures to prevent enforced disappearances of human rights defenders and a high-level Coordinator should be set up within the United Nations to deal with issues of reprisals against human rights defenders.
Burundi, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo on behalf of the Governmental Commission for Missing Persons in Kosovo spoke as concerned countries and parties.
During the dialogue on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, speakers supported the Special Rapporteur’s view that non-recurrence and prevention required to be addressed through a multi-sectorial policy, including legal, judicial and constitutional reforms, as well as the empowerment of civil society, cultural reforms and education efforts.
Speakers welcomed the emphasis by the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances on the links between enforced disappearances and economic, social and cultural rights. Some of them presented their national efforts in addressing past cases of enforced disappearances, while others raised the Council’s attention to cases of enforced disappearances occurring in other countries.
Speaking in the interactive dialogue were the European Union, Pakistan on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Algeria on behalf of the African Group, Ecuador on behalf of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, France, Portugal, Egypt, Austria, Tunisia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Cuba, Morocco, Belgium, Sierra Leone, Japan, Russian Federation, Bahrain, Poland, United States, Colombia, Algeria, Nigeria, Iran and Republic of Korea.
Nicaragua, Serbia, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Japan spoke in right of reply.
The Human Rights Council, during its afternoon meeting, will hold its annual discussion on the integration of a gender perspective in its work. It will conclude its interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence and with the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances on Wednesday, 16 September at 9 a.m.

Human rights
Human rights are moral principles or norms, that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal, and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone. They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others. They should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances; for example, human rights may include freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution.

High Commissioner
High Commissioner is the title of various high-ranking, special executive positions held by a commission of appointment.
The English term is also used to render various equivalent titles in other languages.
The Commonwealth
Bilateral diplomacy
In the Commonwealth of Nations, a High Commissioner is the senior diplomat (ranking as an ambassador) in charge of the diplomatic mission of one Commonwealth government to another. In this usage, a Commonwealth nation's High Commission is its embassy to another Commonwealth nation.
British Colonial usage
Historically, in the British Empire (most of which would become the Commonwealth) High Commissioners were envoys of the Imperial Government appointed to manage protectorates or groups of territories not fully under the sovereignty of the British Crown, while Crown colonies (which were British sovereign territory) would normally be administered by a Governor and the most significant possessions, large confederations and the independent Commonwealth Dominions would be headed by a Governor-General.

The Human Rights Council started during its noon meeting a clustered interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Pablo De Greiff, and the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, Ariel Dulitzky.
Mr. De Greiff said prevention was crucial as an object of concrete and deliberate policy making that could be planned, budgeted, implemented and monitored. There was no such thing as a universal non-recurrence policy that could be applied to any type of transition. Context, needs and stage in the transitional process mattered as much as what institutions were apt to accomplish, and the violations that needed to be redressed most or that were most likely to occur. Institutional reforms were not enough, and interventions in the societal sphere were needed to strengthen civil society and transform attitudes and mindsets. Prevention also required the strengthening of civil society, including establishing legal empowerment regimes at the community level and creating an enabling environment for civil society organizations.
Mr. Dulitzky said it was vital to execute reforms in order for the United Nations to comply with promises made to victims of enforced disappearances 35 years ago. The only effective and lasting security could be one that upheld human rights without discrimination. When States scarified human rights in the name of fighting terrorism, they increased the effects of terrorism. The Working Group had started processing 384 new cases of enforced disappearances in the past year, and more than 43,000 cases were still unresolved, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. States should take specific measures to prevent enforced disappearances of human rights defenders and a high-level Coordinator should be set up within the United Nations to deal with issues of reprisals against human rights defenders.
Burundi, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo on behalf of the Governmental Commission for Missing Persons in Kosovo spoke as concerned countries and parties.
During the dialogue on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, speakers supported the Special Rapporteur’s view that non-recurrence and prevention required to be addressed through a multi-sectorial policy, including legal, judicial and constitutional reforms, as well as the empowerment of civil society, cultural reforms and education efforts.
Speakers welcomed the emphasis by the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances on the links between enforced disappearances and economic, social and cultural rights. Some of them presented their national efforts in addressing past cases of enforced disappearances, while others raised the Council’s attention to cases of enforced disappearances occurring in other countries.
Speaking in the interactive dialogue were the European Union, Pakistan on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Algeria on behalf of the African Group, Ecuador on behalf of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, France, Portugal, Egypt, Austria, Tunisia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Cuba, Morocco, Belgium, Sierra Leone, Japan, Russian Federation, Bahrain, Poland, United States, Colombia, Algeria, Nigeria, Iran and Republic of Korea.
Nicaragua, Serbia, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Japan spoke in right of reply.
The Human Rights Council, during its afternoon meeting, will hold its annual discussion on the integration of a gender perspective in its work.

15 September 2015
The Human Rights Council started during its noon meeting a clustered interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Pablo De Greiff, and the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, Ariel Dulitzky.
Mr. De Greiff said prevention was crucial as an object of concrete and deliberate policy making that could be planned, budgeted, implemented and monitored. There was no such thing as a universal non-recurrence policy that could be applied to any type of transition. Context, needs and stage in the transitional process mattered as much as what institutions were apt to accomplish, and the violations that needed to be redressed most or that were most likely to occur. Institutional reforms were not enough, and interventions in the societal sphere were needed to strengthen civil society and transform attitudes and mindsets. Prevention also required the strengthening of civil society, including establishing legal empowerment regimes at the community level and creating an enabling environment for civil society organizations.
Mr. Dulitzky said it was vital to execute reforms in order for the United Nations to comply with promises made to victims of enforced disappearances 35 years ago. The only effective and lasting security could be one that upheld human rights without discrimination. When States scarified human rights in the name of fighting terrorism, they increased the effects of terrorism. The Working Group had started processing 384 new cases of enforced disappearances in the past year, and more than 43,000 cases were still unresolved, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. States should take specific measures to prevent enforced disappearances of human rights defenders and a high-level Coordinator should be set up within the United Nations to deal with issues of reprisals against human rights defenders.
Burundi, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo on behalf of the Governmental Commission for Missing Persons in Kosovo spoke as concerned countries and parties.

UN High Commissioner: Presidential Candidates' Torture Support is Appalling
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights joins us for the first episode of Human Rights in Conversation, discussing everything from the rise of ISIS to ethnic tensions in Burundi. Q5: Several candidates for the presidency of the United States have come out in favor of the use of torture. What do you make of these remarks? A: It's appalling. The prohibition on torture is absolute. The UN Convention against Torture in Article II is written in the clearest of terms. There are no exceptions that can be entertained, for very good reason. The thought that exceptional circumstances can be dreamed up is rather regrettable. What we see - and I had a meeting with the the UN Voluntary Fund for the Victims of Torture – is that we still see security services designing implement... -

A: We keep talking to the Burundians in many different fora. I speak to the special envoy of President Nkurunziza quite often. We will still be outspoken about human rights violations when we come across them, and sadly it's quite often. The other day we spoke publicly about fresh signs of torture that we witnessed on the bodies of the det... -

What we see - and I had a meeting with the the UN Voluntary Fund for the Victims of Torture – is that we still see security services designing implements that could be better used in the torturing of children.
It's just appalling, dreadful, that we can even be thinking, in the 21st century, in this way and so it's highly regrettable that this rhetoric is in use.

The other day we spoke publicly about fresh signs of torture that we witnessed on the bodies of the detainees that we interviewed only recently.
We are encouraging the government [of Burundi] to take very seriously its responsibilities in respect of accountability especially where the SNR are concerned the Imbonerakure militia as well.
We will continue to press the case.
Burundi is very much walking along a cliff's edge.
We are hoping to draw them away from it but we really need to work on finding political solutions which are all-inclusive but also premised on very serious work done on accountability and addressing the needs of both victims and vulnerable groups alike.

Human rights defenders, who are showing an extraordinary amount of courage are being squeezed on the one hand by the activities of violent extremists and on the other by governments, some of whom are very repressive and only too willing to use the counter-terrorism atmosphere that seems to be prevailing to likewise deny opposition groups, journalists, lawyers, those who would advocate on behalf of the rights of others from exercising their right to freedom of expression.
So it's a very serious moment in time that we are experiencing now from the human rights perspective.

Human Rights
Human Rights
"Man shall not live by bread alone
Lay not up your treasures upon earth"
Thousands listen to the master's words
Thrown to the wind 'cause their hearts were not present
People don't believe in miracles anymore
Human Rights
"Some foreign organization might be supporting you"
Lights, camera, stampede and looting
The powerful men and the saints wanted the leader
(Where are the) Human Rights?
The followers lost faith
Many who dreamt of power are destroyed
The press is a daily vampire
Street kids steal and they are mistaken
For the apostoles
During the riot an extermination group of policemen shoot
both
Lords and slaves want everything easily
Human rights
Clubbing and kicking
Blindfolded eyes
Human rights
