Parental Alienation and the infamous UN Report.
A must-read for family law practitioners / professionals and litigants who are involved in family courts.
In a report published by the Human Rights Council of the
United Nations on April 13, 2023, i.e., “Custody, violence against women and violence against children: Report of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its
causes and consequences, Reem Alsalem,” there are numerous misrepresentations regarding Parental Alienation.
The UN report is replete with a propaganda of misinformation and disinformation about Parental Alienation. Unfortunately, the report is used in family courts to blindside and misguide judges and referees about Parental Alienation theory.
A group of international scientists and experts have carefully reviewed the UN Report and found many misleading statements, extensive misinformation, blatant errors, use of science denial
techniques, and deliberate misrepresentations of the current state of peer-reviewed published research, scientific inquiry, and case law support for the family dynamic of parental alienation.
These errors are so egregious that these experts believe they constitute a deliberate attempt to mislead mental health professionals, legal professionals, and policy makers, such as the Human Rights Council and other components of the United Nations.
The UN Report of the Special Rapporteur is unreliable and dangerous; the misinformation contained in this Report is likely to cause irreparable harm to children and families.
Therefore, after conducting their Analysis, the experts have recommended that the Human Rights Council immediately withdraw the Report from publication and prohibit any component of the United Nations from relying on it.
