Eritrea Seeks to End UN Human Rights Investigation Mandate

Eritrea wants to stop the UN from having someone look into whether they are treating people fairly.

This person, called a Special Rapporteur, checks for things like unfair arrests and people disappearing.

Eritrea, backed by some countries, doesn't want this scrutiny.

Other countries, like those in Europe, disagree and want the UN to keep investigating.

If Eritrea succeeds, it could make it easier for other countries to avoid being checked on their human rights record.
