Mr. Teitota argued that his right to life had been violated, as rising sea levels and other destructive effects of climate change had made his homeland uninhabitable.
He said he was forced to migrate from the island of Tarawa, to New Zealand, due to impacts such as a lack of freshwater due to saltwater intrusion, erosion of arable land, and associated violent land disputes which had resulted in numerous fatalities.
New standards’ established
While the UN Committee determined that Mr. Teitota’s right to life had not been violated as sufficient protection measures had been implemented in Kiribati, member Yuval Shany said: “
The Committee further clarified that people seeking asylum are not required to prove that they would face immediate harm, if deported back to their home countries.
Additionally, Committee members underlined that the International Community MUST assist countries adversely affected by climate change.

The historic ruling marks the first decision by a UN human rights treaty body based on a complaint filed by an individual seeking protection from the effects of climate change.

What is the United Nations?
The UN Security Council – 1946
The UN Security Council formed on 17 January 1946 at Church House, Westminster, London. Since that date, the Security Council has taken permanent residence at the UN Headquarters in New York City.
The UN Human Rights Council – 2006
The Human Rights Council is an inter-governmental body within the UN system responsible for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and for addressing situations of human rights violations and make recommendations on them. It has the ability to discuss all human rights issues and situations that require its attention throughout the year. It meets at the UN Office at Geneva.
The Council is made up of 47 United Nations Member States which are elected by the UN General Assembly. The Human Rights Council replaced the former UN Commission on Human Rights.

In Britain we have been solely focusing on the EU but it is The UN who are at the top of the food chain when it comes to policy making – wielding it mighty authority over the “International Community” with its Agenda 30 Programme.
Article 103 of the Charter states that obligations to the United Nations prevail over all other Treaty obligations.

We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.

Together the UN and EU are forcefully pushing their “Green Agenda” sending into battle the likes of Greta Thunberg and ex-Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney who has just been appointed as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance (he knows where his bread is buttered)!
I wrote my first article for Unity News Network on 30th December 2019, and I have been writing ever since – my library is now well in excess of 200 articles.
Alternative media is essential in these times of unprecedented censorship and mainstream bias, which has ramped up exponentially during the past 2 years. The overton window of “acceptable opinion” is growing every narrower.
Having a citizen’s log, cataloguing the twists and turns of life during these turbulent times is essential.
Thank you Unity News Network for allowing me a voice on your platform.
