right now I’m sitting in the Council room in Geneva, and reps of human rights NGOs are given oppty to speak abt specific country violations around the world. this is unusual in the #UN system. this is what the US walked away from.

Read this thread by @davidakaye to understand realities of what @UN_HRC does to defend human rights and why arguments for US withdrawal are so weak. twitter.com/davidakaye/sta…

Excellent initiative by @GoogleIndia & @RailMinIndia to provide #Free public wifi with a time limit, rather than a download limit or any service restrictions. @Facebook & friends should take note rather than keeping implementing #ZeroRating.

China responding now - disappointed over withdrawal. The Council a ‘major body’ for human rights cooperation. We are committed to multilateralism & will work with others toward the promotion of human rights.

EU remains committed to the #HumanRightsCouncil and to strengthen it, regrets US decision to withdraw. ‘Yesterday’s decision risks undermining the US role’ as a voice for human rights around the world.

speaking abt council as an early warning system for massive human rights violations & the council’s unique role. ‘If these issues aren’t discussed here, they’re unlikely to be heard anywhere else’ in the UN system. (Paraphrase)

As the country which introduced the #1stAmendment to the world and has historically been a great defender of #FreedomfExpression, it is a matter of great regret to the #UnitedKingdom that the #UnitedStates has left the #UN #HumanRightsCouncil. #HRC38

Great thread from @davidakaye on why it is wrong for the U.S to leave the Human Rights Council.
No institution is perfect but this one is a lifeline for so many marginalised communities, freedom fighters, children & women twitter.com/davidakaye/sta…

By walking away from the UN Human Rights Council, the US is turning its back not just on the UN, but on victims of human rights abuses around the world, including in Syria, Yemen, North Korea and Myanmar. hrw.org/news/2018/06/1… pic.twitter.com/qw4TAt9Q3J
