26th Meeting 60th Session of Human Rights Council UN Web TV
Item 5: Interactive dialogue on the report of the Secretary-General on cooperation with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of Human Rights
SPEAKERS:
Germany, Ms. Antje Leendertse
发言内容：
Mr./Madam (Vice-)President,
Germany aligns itself with the EU statement and welcomes the report of the Secretary-General.
To be straightforward: Reprisals undermine human rights and also the UN system, which cannot function effectively without civil society participation.
In countries such as Russia, China, Iran, Belarus or Nicaragua, repression of civil society is almost total. Such countries use reprisals – as well as transnational repression – to close the few spaces their citizens have left to raise their voice against human rights violations.
However, as the report shows, other countries also engage in reprisals, across all regions.
We condemn reprisals in the strongest terms and express our utmost concern about the many individual cases documented in the report.
This includes, but is not limited to the cases of:
• Alexey Sokolov
• Human Rights Center Viasna
• Mohammad Seifzadeh (Sprich Säifsadeh (Säif wie das engl. Wort „Save“)
• Yu Wensheng, Xu Yan and Chow Hang-Tung [Sprich: Yü Uen-scheng, Schü Yän, Tschou Hang-Tung],
• Basma Mostafa
• Olnar Alberto Ortiz Bolívar
• Maximilienne Ngo Mbe [Sprich : N-Go M-Be] and Ms. Alice Nkom [Sprich: N-Komm]
Madam Assistant Secretary / Ms. Brands Kehris,
what are your recommendations to address the transnational repression dimension inherent in many reprisals?
Thank you.
