United Nations Special Investigator
- United Nations Special Investigator
A UN Special Investigator is a UN appointee, charged with investigations or auditing in a specific matter.
Often his focus concerns human rights, or rather
*some type of violation thereof, such as: Food rights, the right to health, human trafficking, illegal and arbitrary executions, migrants rights, racism, religious rights, sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, children's rights, torture
* or Human Rights in a specific country (e.g. war crimes in Bosnia, Canada's Indigenous people, Congo's civil wars, Myanmar, Sudan's civil wars, Taliban rule in Afghanistan, Iran).
In other cases it is a specific, politically relevant fact, scandal or event, such as Israel's construction of a security wall in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, how the US Bush administration spent Iraqi oil-for-food program money after the invasion, the alleged involvement of the Syrian government in political murders in Lebanon
