🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia narrowly failed to win a seat on the UN Human Rights Council this week. This comes as a blow after the Kingdom’s four-year lobbying effort as part of its Vision 2030 endeavor to diversify away from oil revenues. |
“While the Human Rights Council does not have legally binding powers, its meetings raise scrutiny and it can mandate investigations to document abuses, which sometimes form the basis for war crimes prosecutions. Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Czech Republic, North Macedonia, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Iceland, Spain and Switzerland were elected to the council. While Benin, Gambia and Qatar were reelected for a second three-year term. Despite not being a voting member, Saudi Arabia has been increasingly active in the Human Rights Council behind the scenes in recent years, say diplomats and rights groups. Its lobbying helped to shut down the body's war crimes investigations in Yemen in 2021 and it sought to counter a Western-led motion to increase monitoring of perpetrators of possible war crimes in Sudan, they said.” |
