    International laws do not exist.

    Alena Douhan, the Special Rapporteur you cited.

    States have an obligation under international human rights law

    Make up your mind. If they don’t exist, then what she said is meaningless.

    And on the subject of Ms Douhan…

    The Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. … Special Procedures’ experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff

    Looks like she was speaking to the UN, not for the UN.
