Interview with the Harry Tallarita, Secretary General of the Global Intergovernmental Organization CNU
Journalist: When an international complaint is submitted, where is it actually addressed?
Secretary General of the CNU:
When the Global Intergovernmental Organization CNU receives a complaint concerning human rights violations, it may be submitted to the relevant international bodies, such as the United Nations Human Rights Council, the International Court of Justice, or other regional mechanisms for the protection of human rights.
The CNU operates with the support of its Human Rights Defenders (HRDs), who are protected under United Nations treaties, which impose an obligation on all embassies, governments, and States to formally receive submitted complaints.
This obligation is enshrined in international law, and the CNU ensures that every report is taken seriously and properly monitored.
Journalist: How is the CNU funded? Where do its resources come from?
Secretary General of the CNU:
The CNU is primarily funded by independent extraterritorial entities around the world. These are autonomous bodies, not subject to States or Governments, composed of ordinary people, medical professionals, lawyers, and other specialists.
Through educational and humanitarian activities, they generate economic resources that are retained and allocated for comprehensive emergency interventions.
Our independence from governmental systems allows us to operate free from political pressure, ensuring the impartiality and autonomy needed to report human rights violations without interference.
Journalist: What legal support does the CNU have in bringing these complaints to the international level?
Secretary General of the CNU:
The strength of the CNU lies in its volunteer legal teams—individuals deeply committed to the cause, who provide legal assistance without financial compensation.
We operate across all levels and branches of international law, applying pressure through legal and diplomatic mechanisms.
Our work is powered by the determination and courage of fearless volunteers—people with big hearts who refuse to be intimidated by powerful interests.
Journalist: How does the Italian Embassy intervene in such complaints, and under which legal framework?
Secretary General of the CNU:
Like all embassies, the Italian Embassy is obligated to receive any complaint submitted by our HRDs, in accordance with International Law and the United Nations Treaty.
However, our organization does not rely on embassies as its primary channel, since the international legal framework we adhere to goes beyond national jurisdictions.
At the summit of international law is the Fundamental Human Right, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
All UN Member States are bound to respect and protect human rights defenders, without exception.
Journalist: Would you like to add a final message?
Secretary General of the CNU:
The CNU is a global community of ordinary people, professionals, and volunteers, united by the shared goal of building a more just and respectful world grounded in human rights.
Defending fundamental rights does not require wealth, but sincere ideas, courage, and unwavering determination.
That is the true engine of our mission.
