GENEVA (19 May 2021) – UN High
Commissioner Michelle Bachelet today announced the
appointment of three high-level experts to the UN Human
Rights Office’s Fact-Finding Mission on Belarus that will
assist her in conducting a comprehensive examination of
alleged human rights violations committed in Belarus since 1
May 2020, including the possible gender dimension of such
violations.
The experts are Karinna Moskalenko

NICOLA Sturgeon s reshuffle cements the return of one of her oldest allies in the SNP, Angus Robertson. The party’s previous Westminster leader and SNP depute leader lost his Commons seat of Moray to Tory upstart Douglas Ross in the 2017 general election. He has been on a bit of a personal odyssey since then, becoming a father for the first time and moving back to his home town, where he is now the MSP for Edinburgh Central. The 51-year-old has been entrusted with potentially the most momentous - or if you’re sceptical, the most hollow - portfolio, replacing Michael Russell as Constitution Secretary.
