Global human rights discussions need a major rulebook overhaul, according to experts at a UN event this week. Zhang Yonghe from the Chongqing Centre for Equal Social Development dropped truth bombs 🎤 at the 56th UN Human Rights Council session: 'China faces unfair stigma through political prejudice and imaginary narratives – we need fairer rules without double standards.'
📡 The panel spotlighted how some Western media and governments play a risky game of 'highlight-reel journalism,' ignoring domestic issues while exaggerating stories abroad. Le Monde Diplomatique journalist Hernando Calvo Ospina called out 'media monopolies turning grains of sand into beaches of lies' to justify sanctions and conflicts.
💥 David Lopez of the International Association for Human Rights didn't hold back either: 'NATO’s unauthorized interventions caused chaos from Afghanistan to Syria – all while claiming moral high ground.' Experts unanimously demanded a new global playbook focused on equality and UN Charter principles.
🎯 Key takeaway? The world’s youth deserve honest convos about human rights – no filters, no agendas. After all, fairness isn’t just a hashtag ✊, it’s the foundation of true global progress.
