A strong verbal altercation between Ambassador Alaa Youssef and the Special Rapporteur on the right to housing

The report of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing in Egypt aroused the ire of Ambassador Alaa Youssef during his intervention during the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the right to housing within the framework of the 40th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. The ambassador strongly denounced the rapporteur's reliance on politicized sources and cooperation with biased and unprofessional media outlets.

Consequently, the report came out inaccurate in its content, ignoring the Egyptian efforts to protect the right to housing. He also stressed that the reporter's report did not show the complete reality in Egypt, as it overlooked the dire effects that Egypt is exposed to as a result of terrorism financing the confusion of political and social life in Egypt. His speech His Excellency the Ambassador expressed his complete rejection of the accusation of Egypt of violating the right of individuals to express their opinion. The Special Rapporteur’s response to the right to adequate housing came by objecting and completely rejecting the accusation of violating the honor code and obstructing justice, and that before her visit, she relied on official documents, UPR reports, and others from The UN reports also conducted interviews in Egypt after him, but did not disclose the owners of these interviews, which makes the task of the Egyptian government more difficult. She also made clear that it is a well-known decision for cooperating with the media, and it has made statements to several famous media channels, including Al-Jazeera.
