Abdel Wahab Hani, on behalf of the NGO Alkarama (Dignity) and the Arab Commission of Human Rights, protested against the nomination of an Egyptian diplomat, Ahmed Amin Fathalla as member of the UN Human Rights Committee during a meeting last week between the NGO and the president of the Council, the Nigerian, Martin Ihoeghian Uhomoibhi.
The Committee is made up of independent people who are responsible for monitoring the application of the international Pact on civil and political rights, one of the two pillars of the UN. M.
