(Worthy News) – Germany and 35 other countries, including all 28 EU nations, joined in an unusually strong rebuke of Saudi Arabia to the UN’s top human rights body on Thursday in Geneva.
The kingdom, currently a member of the UN Human Rights Council, has long faced accusations that it violates human and women’s rights, and the October 2018 murder of Saudi journalist and kingdom critic Jamal Khashoggi heightened international criticism.
The statement issued on Thursday was the first rebuke of the kingdom since the UN Human Rights Council was set up in 2006. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
