Eritrea: open letter to the Human Rights Council

Open Letter to the Permanent Representatives of Members and Observer states of the UN Human Rights Council regarding the Human Rights Situation in Eritrea, June 2016:

In light of the finding by the Commission of inquiry into the situation of human rights in Eritrea (COIE) of reasonable grounds to conclude that crimes against humanity had been committed by Eritrean officials against Eritrean citizens since 1991, we write to urge your delegation to sponsor or co-sponsor a resolution that would renew the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Eritrea, and that establishes a structure within the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to assist with monitoring human rights and ensuring accountability for identified perpetrators, and justice for victims.
