This includes influencing votes, editing reports to remove criticism, and even bribing UN officials. Reilly alleges that China pressures the UN to avoid discussing sensitive topics like human rights abuses in Xinjiang and suppresses dissent by targeting activists' families. LONDON: China is aiming to reshape the rules-based international order to reflect its own priorities by taking over multilateral institutions such as the UN, evidence submitted by a UN whistleblower claims. The evidence presented claims Beijing was influencing votes at the UN to squelch discussions on topics sensitive to it and that it even bribed two General Assembly presidents.

It is carrying out an inquiry into international relations in the multilateral system. In her written evidence, published Tuesday, Reilly exposes how Beijing influences the OHCHR to not raise certain issues and “exerts significant pressure” on senior UN officials and staff to modify their reports to remove negative references to China. “Reports of both the WHO and the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) on origins of Covid were edited to reduce referenced to the possibility of a lab leak,” she claims. She said an OHCHR report on the treatment of Uyghurs contained significant edits from the Chinese govt and claims that UN staff were secretly giving China the names of human rights activists who planned to attend the Human Rights Council to talk about China human rights abuses. She said these people then found their family members in China were visited by Chinese police, arbitrarily arrested, placed under house arrest, tortured, disappeared or put in concentration camps. “Beijing’s consistent demand for meetings and apologies following even the mildest criticism have served to ensure even relatively independent UN officials to not publicly criticise China, or even raise human rights concerns privately. This results in a perverse situation where democracies that permit dissent are much more regularly criticised by the UN’s human rights and humanitarian agencies than autocratic regimes,” she said. Reilly, who was dismissed from her job for blowing the whistle, said Beijing, through development assistance, was influencing votes at the UN to, for example, shut down discussions on Xinjiang. She said, “During the two-year negotiation of the SDGs (2013-2015) Beijing paid bribes to two successive presidents of the General Assembly which had significant influence over the final texts put to the Assembly… such that the content of the final goals and indicators closely aligns with Beijing’s approach — devoid of civil and political rights and freedoms.” In recent years China has successfully campaigned for its nationals to lead or obtain very senior management posts on a significant number of UN departments programmes and agencies. “No other member state has a strong presence across the most senior management of almost every UN agency,” she said. The evidence also includes a submission from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) which says that China is working to “shape the multilateral system to align more with a state-centric, authoritarian world view, and to robustly defend itself against criticism.” End of Article FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA VISUAL STORIES Previous 9 most unique and rare birds in the world Lifestyle 10 foods that contain highest protein per 100 grams Lifestyle 8 Indian cities where non-vegetarian food is banned Food How to make South-Indian style Chicken Pakora Food 10 lines from Shakespeare's sonnets that are profound life lessons Lifestyle Most beautiful hill stations in the Western Ghats for a serene vacation travel 8 yoga poses that can reduce waist size effectively Lifestyle 7 home remedies to remove yellow stains from teeth Lifestyle 10 books that will help transform your life in the next 3 months Lifestyle Ganesh Chaturthi 2024: 10 South Indian dishes to make for Lord Ganesha Food Next * 1 * 2 * 3 HOT PICKS Harris Trump Debate Highlights What is Project 2025?
