- Wito wa Uchunguzi: Mnamo Machi 2026, Balozi Sanders alitoa wito kwa Baraza la Haki za Binadamu la Umoja wa Mataifa (UNHRC) kuihimiza Tanzania "uchunguzi huru, wa uwazi, na mashtaka" kuhusu madai ya ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu.
- Wasiwasi Kuhusu Vurugu za Baada ya Uchaguzi: Aliangazia ushahidi wa "ukatili wa ukweli" kufuatia uchaguzi wa Oktoba 29, 2025, ikiwa ni pamoja na madai ya mauaji ya kiholela na utunzaji usiofaa wa miili.
- Ukandamizaji Uliolengwa: Sanders alisema kwamba Uingereza ina ushahidi wa ukandamizaji unaofadhiliwa na serikali, ikiwa ni pamoja na kukandamiza taarifa, ukatili dhidi ya raia, na kulengwa kwa wawakilishi wa upinzani baada ya uchaguzi.

UK Human Rights Council 61 : UK Statement for the Item 2 General Debate
UK Statement for the Item 2 General Debate. Delivered by the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders.Published2 March 2026
Location:GenevaDelivered on:2 March 2026 (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered)
Mr President,
We are grateful for the High Commissioner’s update.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains of serious concern. We urge Israel to allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian aid in line with international law. We call on all parties to implement the 20-point peace plan and respect the ceasefire. In the West Bank, rising violence and settlement activity risk instability and undermines prospects for peace.
Tanzania saw shocking violence following its elections in October, including evidence of extra-judicial killings and concealment of dead bodies. There must be an independent, transparent and inclusive investigation of these events to ensure accountability and that the fundamental freedoms and constitutional rights of all Tanzanians are protected.
We appreciate your efforts to engage China, including on the findings of his Office’s Xinjiang Assessment from 2022. But we are concerned by continued evidence of China’s transition from using re-education camps to using prisons and labour transfer schemes. We call on China to address reports of forced labour, and restrictions on religious and cultural freedoms; China must release all arbitrarily detained individuals.
Finally, we support unequivocally Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. We continue to support the work of UN mechanisms and their reporting - those responsible for violations and abuses of human rights must be held accountable.
Thank you.
