⚠️ there can be NO justification for escaping a periodic review by @UNTreatyBodies
🇳🇱by failing to show up to the CED review, the Netherlands set a highly dangerous precedent & send a negative signal to fellow States parties

Experts of the Committee on #enforceddisappearances review the Netherlands 🇳🇱 in absence of a delegation.

🚨👏really insightful, must read piece on positive impact of Treaty Body decisions⚖️
☑️authors find that overall state compliance with views ranges between 19 and 39%
in a similar study, Kate Fox Principi came up with a rate of 24% of state compliance a few years ago
How often do states comply with UN treaty bodies? In a review of state responses to over 1,400 adverse decisions, @AndreasUllmann1 sees reason for cautious optimism. openglobalrights.org/complia…

🙌very glad to see the High Commissioner reviving regular contacts w UN human rights experts
that cooperation & dialogue is crucial to the coherence of the whole UN human rights machinery 👇

A productive meeting w/@UN Committee against Torture. Though strictly prohibited in int'l law, torture is still being practiced globally. I call on States to ensure its total eradication + uphold basic tenets of humanity. Torture has no place in our world. #humanrights75
🇺🇳 High Commissioners can & should speak out - privately or publicly - where nominations to @UNTreatyBodies are problematic, given how recurring those are
👏really great to hear @volker_turk on this
Today, in an open letter, @volker_turk @UNHumanRights called on all to take action + commit to achieving gender parity on @UNTreatyBodies. Ensuring equal participation of women in political life, he wrote, is essential to respond to the most pressing crises confronting our world.
congratulations dear Barbara! 👏
It is my honour to serve for another four years on the Committee on #EnforcedDisappearance #CED. Thanks to all who made this possible and trust in my work @UNTreatyBodies
🚨 I spoke to @GenevaSolutions about the lack of female candidates for upcoming elections at UN anti torture body ⚧️

📣NGOs urge States to nominate #women to the @UN Committee against Torture.
With 5 vacancies to fill States have so far nominated only men, creating a real risk that the CAT will be left with only 1 female member, significantly undermining its legitimacy & effectiveness 👇🏽 🧵
