Leftist foundations quietly fund UN rights 'experts': watchdog
U.N. “human rights” experts are taking six-figure donations from leftist nonprofit groups without properly disclosing them all, a watchdog group alleges.
TL;DR
- UN Watch alleges that UN human rights experts receive undisclosed six-figure donations.
- The donations come from leftist nonprofit groups, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation.
- Watchdog group UN Watch traced the funding to current and former U.N. special rapporteurs.
- There are concerns that such funding could compromise the independence of these rapporteurs, who are appointed to monitor human rights abuses.
