A video on the UN website of the second session shows that when questions are invited from attendees, a woman introduces herself as Vijayapriya Nithyananda, "the permanent ambassador of the United States of Kailasa" and says she wants to ask a question about "indigenous rights and sustainable development".
She describes USK as the "first sovereign state for Hindus" established by Nithyananda, the "supreme pontiff of Hinduism". She also claims that USK has been "successful with sustainable development" because it provided necessities such as food, shelter and medical care for free to all its citizens. Her question is regarding what measures can be put in place to "stop the persecution" of Nithyananda and the people of Kailasa.
Others who asked questions at the discussion included a representative of an organisation called One Ocean Hub and a lecturer at Essex University.
Former Indian diplomat Preeti Saran, who holds the Asia Pacific seat at CESCR, was among the attendees at the discussion. The BBC has emailed her for comment.
