Argentina also did not sign a declaration condemning the violation of human rights in China.

This week Argentina has decided to turn its back on the main democratic powers on two occasions by avoiding statements of support presented to the United Nations (UN) Commission on Human Rights that it chairs. Michele Bachelet. In the first of them, reference was made to the lack of constitutional guarantees experienced by opponents of the Nicaragua of Daniel Ortega, while in the second, he was disowned and asked to investigate the systematic human rights violation suffered by ethnic minorities in the region of Xinjiang, China.

The presentation was written by Leslie E. Norton -Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Canada before the HIM HIM at Geneva– and supported by 43 countries. Among them: Albania, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Finland, Germany, Haiti, Honduras, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Palau, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland , Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States.

Norton, on its high note to Bachelet, showed the common concern of the 44 countries in the face of the very serious situation experienced by ethnic minorities in China and asked Beijing authorize the entry of international observers into this region. “We are deeply concerned about the human rights situation in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Reliable reports indicate that over a million people have been arbitrarily detained and that there is widespread surveillance directed disproportionately against Uyghurs and members of other minorities and restrictions on fundamental freedoms and Uyghur culture.», Specifies the press release which asks the authorities of the regime to allow a control to determine the accuracy of these complaints.

“We urge China to allow immediate, meaningful and unrestricted access to Xinjiang to independent observers, including the High Commissioner, and to urgently implement the recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination related to Xinjiang. , including ending the arbitrary detention of Uyghurs and members. other Muslim minorities», Continues the joint statement.

Since Chancellery they assured Infobae Argentina generally does not support statements referring to third countries. “We are once again talking about an intervention by a group of countries on the specific case of a country. We do not adhere to collective statements on the cases of particular countries», They assured from the ministry headed by Felipe Alone.

The posture of Saint-Martin Palace he hits twice. On Monday, he released a statement with Mexico in which the call for consultations with the respective ambassadors in Nicaragua, Daniel Capitanich and Gustavo Alonso Cabrera Rodriguez, and in the lines of which the dictator was reproached Ortega the treatment of presidential candidates. However, 24 hours later, he avoided signing the declaration of 59 countries under the argument of “non-intervention”.

On the other hand, on May 27, the Argentina – as well as 24 other countries of questionable institutional quality – voted in favor of the creation of a UN Commission investigate alleged human rights violations committed by Israel during the government’s response to the terrorist attacks in Hamas. The declaration of Norton is expressed in similar terms: an independent team of international experts who could determine whether in the “re-education camps“of Xinjiang crimes are committed against Humanity.

The Canadian Ambassador’s note is harsh and continuous: “Cases of torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, forced sterilization, sexual and gender-based violence and forced separation of children from their parents by the authorities have been reported.”. None of this seems to have moved the Argentine diplomatic authorities.

The government of Alberto Fernandez maintains a close relationship with Xi Jinping which is reflected in each of the statements the administration makes about its peers in Beijing. The Argentine ambassador to the Chinese capital is one of the eastern giant’s most enthusiastic supporters. Sabino Vaca Narvaja even strongly encourages the installation of the 5G network of Huawei in the Argentina, a huge favor to lobby that the diet is watering all over the world.
