Writing to UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights

Say what happened, when, and who was involved, in your own words. Give any reference numbers from earlier correspondence, state clearly what you want them to do, and keep the letter to a single issue. If you have already complained elsewhere, say so and attach the reply you received — most watchdogs can only act once the organisation involved has had a chance to answer.
