Botswana Govt limits UN access

Botswana Govt limits UN access

THE Botswana government has announced that access to the country for the top UN human rights spokesman for indigenous peoples will be restricted.

In an astonishing move, the government has invoked a special clause of the country’s constitution to slam visa restrictions on the UN’s special rapporteur on indigenous peoples, Mexican Rodolfo Stavenhagen. The announcement comes as over one thousand indigenous representatives converge on the United Nations today for the start of the sixth session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.The same restrictions were imposed in March on 17 individuals including four Survival staff, BBC world affairs editor John Simpson and other journalists and human rights activists, most of whom had taken an interest in the eviction of the Kalahari Bushmen.survivor-intentrnational.orgThe announcement comes as over one thousand indigenous representatives converge on the United Nations today for the start of the sixth session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.The same restrictions were imposed in March on 17 individuals including four Survival staff, BBC world affairs editor John Simpson and other journalists and human rights activists, most of whom had taken an interest in the eviction of the Kalahari Bushmen.survivor-intentrnational.org
