Independent United Nation Watch (IUNW) office in New York, sent urgent complaints to the ECOSOC, High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and NGO Liaison Unit. The complaints cited various violations by three Egyptian organizations which use their ECOSOC Consultative status to run media warfare on behalf of countries against others. These NGOs are launching massive misleading campaigns on behalf of UAE at the UN Human Rights Council sessions.
IUNW said in its complaints that the Egyptian Organization For Human Rights (EOHR), Maat for peace, Development and human Rights Association and Ecumenical Alliance for Human Rights and Development (EAHRD) have all received money from certain countries such as UAE to attack other countries. It also added that those NGOs are ignorant of how the Human Rights Council in Geneva operate.

As of this 37th session, IUNW carried and early investigation into some of the upcoming events and discovered with evidence how NGOs are selling rooms and statements to “Security Services” of some Arab and Gulf countries. The rooms are sold to hold events against countries not to constructively discuss human rights issues but to use it for political attacks and propaganda.
IUNW urged the addressed bodies to:
– Cancel all the events of of all three NGOs.
– Open an immediate investigation into the NGOs relations in Geneva with UAE embassy and Mr. Ahmad Thani and Hamli.
– Urge the NGO committee and ECOSOC to terminate the accreditation of these NGOs.
– Involve the Swiss police into possible money laundering and tax evasion activities.
– Impose a life ban on the leader of NGOs due to their sabotage at the Human Rights Council
