UN human rights chief Volker Turk has urged Twitter's new owner Elon Musk to ensure that respect for human rights is central to the social network following his sacking of around half the company's employees.

Reports of Mr Musk laying off the platform's entire human rights team were "not, from my perspective, an encouraging start", Mr Turk said in an open letter.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said he was writing with "concern and apprehension about our digital public square and Twitter's role in it".

Mr Musk, the richest person in the world, took control of the platform a week ago in a contentious deal.

After completing his mammoth $44 billion acquisition, Mr Musk quickly set about dissolving Twitter's board and firing its chief executive and top managers.

Twitter yesterday fired roughly half of its 7,500-strong workforce.

"Like all companies, Twitter needs to understand the harms associated with its platform and take steps to address them," wrote Mr Turk.

"Respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails for the platform's use and evolution. In short, I urge you to ensure human rights are central to the management of Twitter under your leadership."

Mr Turk posted the open letter on Twitter, where he has more than 25,000 followers.

He set out six fundamental principles from a human rights perspective, urging Mr Musk to put them front and centre in the management of Twitter.

They included protecting free speech and privacy, and ensuring transparency.

Mr Musk has promised to restore free speech while preventing Twitter from descending into a "hellscape".

Twitter's co-founder and former CEO, Jack Dorsey, said in a tweet that he apologises and takes "responsibility for why everyone is in this situation", adding: "I grew the company size too quickly".
