AFP: UN warns of worst 'cascade of human rights setbacks in our lifetimes'
The UN rights chief on Monday called for concerted action to recover from the worst global deterioration of rights she had seen, highlighting the situation in China, Russia and Ethiopia among others.
"To recover from the most wide-reaching and severe cascade of human rights setbacks in our lifetimes, we need a life-changing vision, and concerted action," Michelle Bachelet told the opening of the UN Human Rights Council's 47th session.
The session, which lasts until July 13 and is being held virtually due to continued Covid-19 restrictions, is set to feature an eagerly anticipated report by Bachelet about systemic racism, and draft resolutions focused on several concerning rights situations, including in Myanmar, Belarus and Ethiopia's northern Tigray region.

You'll be talking about the school in the year 2300 as if it were yesterday.
They found some kids buried. Some may have died of natural causes. We do not know. I would assume that some would have died as you allege. But lately whenever a simpering leftist alleges something, you find out a few weeks or a few months later it was all pack of lies.
There were Indians in Oklahoma that went to boarding schools. They lived in two worlds. As adults they had oil rights and were millionaires during the 1920s. Name another country where that would have happened.
No, I will say that you are ignorant. 4,000 deaths estimated over several decades (70 years or more) across multiple school. It could come out to one death per school per year. Remember they had no pandemics before the 1970s like the 1918 flu. Also no one ever died of sepsis prior to penicillin which was available starting in the 1940s. 90% to 100% of these deaths could be natural causes. You don't know, but the newspapers jerked you chain by going to the way back machine instead of dealing with the here and now.
Are you going to pull you head out of your ass in 2100 and decry all the rape and murder going along the Mexican American border right now? You could pull you head out of your ass today and do something about the border crisis like call your representative American or Canadian.
But it is easier to do it when it is done deal and there is nothing you can do about it. Then you get your virtue signaling points, but you can't be expected to do anything 30 years or more in the past. So you are safe.
I am sure there were crimes of rape going on in those schools. How often or prevalent I do not know. Those we could prosecute maybe, if we go 2 or more kids ( now adults) who could point to someone living. We might get a conviction. But at this late date 50 years later it is almost as pointless as looking NAZIs. Pointless but a well paying gig, where you do not have to make a factory floor quota.
Barring that I it is important for the historical record. But I suspect that the story was done by the news service, because they hate the church and they wanted the clicks. Otherwise they do not care. If they cared they would be covering the mass rapes happening now. More rapes now long the border than in any of those schools. If they worked out it they could get convictions of poeple who are in their 20, 30s and 40s and not geriatric cases.
If you want to get the outrage juice flowing through your veins and get you daily pick me up high I suggest reading "Killers of the Flower Moon"
Anytime you want to apologize go right ahead.
