Michelle Bachelet, the new United Nations human rights chief has told Al Jazeera it’s time for the UN to investigate Jamal Khashoggi’s death – after almost two months of the Saudi and Turkish investigations that remain separate and seem to be going nowhere.
Jamal Khashoggi, a United States resident and columnist for the Washington Post was killed shortly after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
However, Antonio Guterres UN Secretary-General, currently at the G20 summit – is sticking to his position that he will not act until he gets a referral from one of the UN’s major bodies and one of the member states of the UN.
Meanwhile, US Senators yesterday said they are convinced that Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in the death of Khashoggi.
