continued……….. At the same time, Noceiva served as director of policy planning in the ministry, overseeing the logistics of the international summit. Email records show Nusseva received express approval from the media that regulates the presence of convicted sex offenders. Years later, Nosyeva would serve as president of the UN Women's Council, and she publicly declared that women's empowerment was a "moral imperative." However, this moral imperative seems to end where the interests of the Emirati state begin. As the UAE's chief international voice, Nusseiba has consistently defended the UAE as it funds and arms the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a militia infamous for its systematic use of mass action and sexual violence in Sudan. Nusayeva is not the only Emirati diplomat linked to the sex trafficker. Documents also show former UN Women's senior adviser Hind al-Owais offering to introduce Epstein to her sister. If Lana Nosyeva secures the UN's top diplomatic seat under the banner of female empowerment, it raises a fundamental question: Will it really be a step forward for women?
