The precautionary measures issued are not recommendations, they are legally binding, according to the UN Human Rights Commission.
Sarah Cleveland, vice-president of the UN Human Rights Commission, has condemned statements made by Brazilian officials following the UN's determination that the state should “take all necessary measures” to allow Brazilian presidential candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to “exercise his political rights” as a candidate in the October presidential elections
Speaking in an interview with swissinfo.ch Cleveland said the measures put forward by the Committee are legally binding.
The precautionary measures issued are not recommendations, they are legally binding and impose an international legal obligation on Brazil to fulfill them, she said.
Cleveland went on to say that the Geneva-based commission ”has no interest in the results of the elections, only in the right of everyone to participate.”
But warned that “failure to comply with the precautionary measures would mean that Brazil would be violating” international treaties to which it is a signatory.
The UN Human Rights Commission issued the decision on August 17,
