What happened to George Floyd story?
UN Human Rights Council orders report on systemic racism in the wake of George Floyd death
By Lauren Meier - The Washington Times - Friday, June 19, 2020
The United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday unanimously voted to commission a report on systemic racism and discrimination against black people and condemned last month’s killing of George Floyd, which sparked worldwide anti-racism protests.
The 47-member group, of which the U.S. is not a member after withdrawing in 2018, approved a resolution after days of negotiating the language of the document, during which a group of African nations reportedly backed down from their efforts to launch a commission of inquiry on the matter following U.S.-led closed-door talks.
The resolution now calls for a more streamlined report to be authored by the council chief’s office among other experts, and seeks to “contribute to accountability and redress for victims” in the U.S. and around the world, The Associated Press reported.
It also condemns “the continuing racially discriminatory and violent practices” by law enforcement against Africans and people of African descent “in particular which led to the death of George Floyd on 25 May 2020 in Minnesota.”
Mr. Floyd, an unarmed black man, died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis.
The resolution also calls for the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet to review government responses to peaceful protests that swept the world in the wake of Floyd’s death and issue a report on her findings to the council by June of next year.

U.N. sets up inquiry into racism after George Floyd death

GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday condemned discriminatory and violent policing after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month and ordered a report on “systemic racism” against people of African descent.
The 47-member-state forum unanimously adopted a resolution brought by African countries. The mandate also asks U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet to examine government responses to peaceful protests, including alleged use of excessive force, and deliver findings in a year’s time.
Philonise Floyd, the brother of the Black man whose death under the knee of a white officer roused world protests against racial injustice, urged the forum on Wednesday to investigate U.S. police brutality and racial discrimination.
Burkina Faso’s Ambassador Dieudonné W. Désiré Sougouri presented the African resolution on Friday, urging its adoption by consensus.
“It is important to show Africa…the Human Rights Council has heard the plight of African and people of African descent calling for equal treatment and application of equal rights for all,” he said.
The Africa group had made numerous “concessions” in the negotiations with other countries, he added.
Senegal’s envoy Coly Seck, a former council president, welcomed the consensus, telling the talks: “Black Lives Matter”.
The text was watered down during closed-door negotiations from an initial draft explicitly calling for a U.N. commission of inquiry on racism in the United States and elsewhere.
“It is absurd that the final resolution passed by the United Nations strips mention of the United States, where police kill people, particularly Black people, at alarmingly higher rates compared to other developed countries,” said Jamil Dakwar of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which led 600 activist groups in calling for the urgent debate.
“The United Nations needs to do its job — not get bullied out of doing it — and hold the United States accountable,” he said in a statement.
The Trump administration, which quit the forum two years ago alleging bias against its ally Israel, made no immediate comment. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva Andrew Bremberg said on Wednesday that his country was “not above scrutiny” as it grappled with racial discrimination but was implementing police reforms after Floyd’s killing.
During the debate, Western delegations including Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and the European Union said that the United States should not be singled out.
