Nigerien Military Rejects Human Rights Council Recs

Nigerien authorities rejected, before the ruling military council, 11 out of 265 recommendations submitted by 97 countries during the country's Universal Periodic Review of its human rights record, organized by the UN Human Rights Council. The rejected recommendations relate to calls for the release of arbitrarily detained individuals, including ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and his wife, with human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch asserting that their detention is arbitrary. The government also refused the recommendation to reverse the withdrawal from the International Criminal Court, despite human rights warnings that such a move could deny victims access to justice avenues. This rejection occurs amid escalating political and media repression and the detention of civil society activists, with Moussa Tiengari still held since December 2024.
