'DANGEROUS FAVOURS' AND 'COVER-UPS': FORMER EMPLOYEE ALLEGES CHINA PAID BRIBES
TO UNITED NATIONS TO SERVE ITS AGENDA

Chinese President Xi Jinping (right) shakes hands with United Nations
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres

Emma Reilly, a former employee of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human
Rights (OHCHR), has made grave accusations against the United Nations (UN),
alleging a troubling relationship between the OHCHR and the Chinese government.

Her claims, submitted as written evidence to the UK Parliament's Foreign Affairs
Committee, suggest a concerning nexus between the OHCHR and China.

According to Reilly, the OHCHR has been providing "dangerous favours" to the
Chinese government, as part of a broader effort by China to exploit the UN for
its national interests.

As reported by NDTV, these alleged favours include secret agreements and
cover-ups, designed to serve China's agenda within the UN.

Reilly alleged that "during the two-year negotiation of the Sustainable
Development Goals", "Beijing paid bribes to the two successive Presidents of the
General Assembly who ultimately oversaw the process and had significant
influence over the final texts put to the Assembly".

She also accuses the OHCHR of providing advance information to China about human
rights activists attending the Human Rights Council, leading to harassment and
intimidation of activists and their families by Chinese authorities.

Furthermore, Reilly alleges that reports by UN agencies, including the World
Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP),
were edited to downplay the possibility of a laboratory leak as the origin of
Covid-19.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has also submitted
evidence, stating that China seeks to shape the multilateral system to align
with its authoritarian worldview.

The Foreign Affairs Committee is conducting an inquiry into international
relations in the multilateral system, examining how countries engage with
multilateral organisations.

The inquiry follows a previous report by the Committee, which highlighted
attempts by autocratic states to co-opt and redefine the principles of
multilateral organisations.

Support Swarajya’s Journey: 10 Years And Counting…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This year marks a special moment—10 years since we launched Swarajya in 2014,
during a pivotal time in India’s political landscape. Just like Narendra Modi
and BJP, Swarajya evolved as well.

 

As we reflect on a decade of championing bold narratives, we recognize that the
media landscape has shifted. What worked in 2014 doesn’t in 2024, and we are
re-imagining our approach to continue delivering the stories that matter to you.

 

While we adapt to the changing times, our core beliefs remain unchanged. We're
committed to being a reader-centric platform with firm political and cultural
convictions.

 

On our 10th anniversary, we request you to join us by becoming an annual
subscriber for just Rs 999.
