UN Human Rights Council condemns action of financial speculators
The United Nations Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva today adopted an Argentine-fueled resolution which condemns the so called "vulture funds", currently in a legal dispute against the country.
"Vulture funds will not stop until we put the break on," Argentina Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman said when referring to the document approved by 33 votes in favour, five against, and nine abstentions.
The resolution is titled: “Consequences for foreign debt and international financial obligations of States for the full enjoyment of human rights, economic, social and cultural rights. Vulture funds activities.”
Six out of 11 nations that voted against the project to regulate international debt restructurings in the UN were present in the council: USA, Chq Republic, Germany, Ireland, Japan and Great Britain.
Ireland abstained from voting, together with Austria, Estonia, France, Italy, South Korea, Romania and Macedonia.
The 5 nations that voted against the initiative argued that the complaint has to be issued in an international credit organization and not the Human Rights Council.
“The resolution not only condemns vulture’s activities, but also urges the UN to investigate their behavior and analyze their effect over sovereign economies,” Timerman explained.
