NICARAGUA: Withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council
At the end of February Nicaragua’s government led by authoritarian President Daniel Ortega announced its withdrawal from the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The move followed a blistering report by the UN-appointed panel of human rights experts on Nicaragua (GHREN) which described the recent constitutional reform package which took effect that month [SSR-25-01] as a “final blow to the rule of law”. It also more generally urged “decisive international action” to address the human rights violations which have been taking place since April 2018, when the Ortega government began its brutal crackdown on dissent in response to social unrest.
