ONU pide a Nayib Bukele revisar el Estado de Excepción en El Salvador

The United Nations has issued a statement calling on the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, to review the State of Emergency declared in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country has been under a State of Emergency since March 2020, which has allowed the government to take drastic measures to curb the spread of the virus. However, the UN has expressed concerns about the excessive use of force by police and the military in enforcing these measures, including arbitrary arrests and detentions. They have also raised concerns about the impact of the Emergency on the rights of people, especially vulnerable groups such as the poor, women, and children. The UN has called on the government to take measures to ensure that the Emergency is in line with international human rights standards and does not violate the rights of its citizens. This is an important issue because the Emergency has been in place for over a year now, and its impact on the people of El Salvador has been severe. It is essential that the government takes into account the concerns raised by the UN and ensures that its measures do not come at the cost of people’s fundamental rights.
