    The UN says or the experts on the UN say?

    Because it really makes a difference exactly who is recognizing it.

            You’re trying to pick a fight with the wrong person. The topic absolutely should be discussed, but making up news worthy topics is a very lazy way to report. It’s a fluff piece for cash, and you should be insulted, not happy.

            We need real reporting, not “experts”

      The Special Rapporteurs are part of what are known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.
