\/…<\/p>\n

Question<\/u>:\u00a0 I have another question on a different matter, if I can.\u00a0 We had an interesting news conference from the head of Human Rights Watch, Ken Roth, in the last 24 hours.\u00a0 In that news conference, he raised a long\u2011standing issue, which is the database that the High Commissioner for Human Rights was supposed to come up with, detailing the companies doing business with Israeli settlements.\u00a0 And he said that had been sit\u2026 had been completed and was sitting on the High Commissioner’s desk and had been for 15 months, and he speculated that it was the SG worried about retaliation from [Donald] Trump.\u00a0 And he said, if the SG wanted, he could get that released tomorrow.\u00a0 Can you tell us about why that database hasn\u2019t been published and does the Secretary\u2011General want something that the Human Rights Council has requested to be published?<\/p>\n

Spokesman<\/u>:\u00a0 That is a question for the Human Rights High Commissioner.\u00a0 The high\u2026 the Human Rights Council mandated the High Commissioner to publish such a database, and I will leave it at that.<\/p>\n

Question<\/u>:\u00a0 Does the Secretary\u2011General have any problem with it being published?<\/p>\n

Spokesman<\/u>:\u00a0 We are given a mandate by the Human Rights Council, and it’s a question to refer to the High Commissioner.<\/p>\n
