Verification History

AI Verified The quote is authentic in the cited official OHCHR PDF. The text appears in the annex as: “OHCHR strongly supports efforts at strictly limiting, or prohibiting as appropriate, in accordance with applicable international law, highly intrusive surveillance practices ...” so the supplied “[...]” is a faithful omission of the middle clause. The document is dated 8 November 2023 and is an “Open Letter from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights,” signed “Volker Türk,” which supports attributing the statement to him in this source.
