While there are humanitarian violations taking place all over the world, and a major migration problem hitting Europe, what does the UN do? sends a lawyer over to Britain to probe into whether recent benefits reforms 'violate the human rights of the disabled'.

I don't think it is. It's just that we hear about British cases more as that is what presumably people are more interested in
There are many countries where there are official observers from the EU and/or the UN so I hardly think one lawyer representing the UN being sent here is that big an outrage.
I think she nay well find more issues in her own country. The UN is a useless, toithless body anyway
The uk should tell her to sli g her hook.

Well it is, Corby. The UN should concentrate its efforts on dealing with matters in places where abuse really does take place and on massive scales. To send somebody here to find out whether the UK is paying enough money to disabled people is an utter disgrace and the UK government should send Ms Aguilar packing forthwith. She should not feel her journey here wasted. She can use Heathrow as a transit stop before heading off somewhere like India where disabled people are simply left to roam the streets begging.

Apparently her visit is to help the UN’s Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to establish whether the UK is guilty of ‘grave or systematic violations’ of the rights of the disabled. Members of the Committee include representatives from those beacons of Human Rights support Uganda, Kenya, Tunisia and Thailand.

The UN presumably has limited resources. If it considers those resources are needed in the UK to establish if ‘grave or systematic violations’ of the rights of the disabled are taking place here before looking elsewhere, perhaps it is in the wrong business. The idea that it should need to ask is insulting and offensive.
