Former Prime Minister could still face UN Human Rights Council Investigation

25/07/2026


The former Prime Minister Keir Starmer could still be forced by the UN to answer allegations of a deliberate failure to act and human rights violations, in light of numerous children having suffered unnecessary harm and death, due to bullying, physical and sexual violence in UK schools. This almost 2 years after the UN first became involved in the case in August 2024.

The former Prime Minister still faces potential questions from the United Nations over alleged deliberate human rights violations that it is alleged occurred while he was in office as well as previously. The questions stem from an alleged deliberate failure as Prime Minister, as well as during his time as a Shadow Minister and then Leader of the Opposition, to investigate alleged failings in the Government safeguarding systems, in relation to bullying, physical & sexual violence in UK schools. This as well as a deliberate failure to investigate a potential cover up the issues, knowing that the failings may have led to serious harm and suicides and left millions of children at risk of further harm.

The case and complaint is still ongoing after an initial review of all of the evidence in 2024, led to a request from them for further information. This was with a view to putting the allegations to the Prime Minister and UK Government directly if the case remained unaddressed. The alleged deliberate failures potentially constitute serious human rights violations and potential crimes and once any reviews are concluded, may result in an official communication being sent for a public response to the allegations.

The focus of any investigation and possible communications to the UK Government will focus on the failures of Keir Starmer as the then Prime Minister. An investigation would encompass his failures over the last 8 years both as Prime Minister and during his time as a Shadow Minister and then Leader of the Opposition. An investigation would also engage the failures of the previous Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and MPs and Ministers from both the previous and current governments, including numerous Education Secretaries both past and present.

The campaign has also asked the UN to consider evidence of potential systemic failings that the campaign has available from advocates in a number of countries, so that the case can be looked at in the context of a much wider global issue. This with a view to reducing the risk of harm and suicide to all children in schools across the globe.
