The @CIJ_ICJ has been clear: trade and business with Israel's settlements are illegal and must stop.

When will the EU comply? @amnesty and 162 civil society organizations and trade unions wrote a letter to @vonderleyen 👇

Removing all Palestinians from Gaza is tantamount to destroying them as a people. Gaza is their home.

Gaza's death & destruction is a result of the gov of Israel killing civilians by the thousands, often with US bombs.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

UN experts and B’tselem reported this week on the widespread abuse, torture and sexual assault including rape amid atrocious inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody: Around 9,500 Palestinians, including hundreds of children, are currently imprisoned.

Despite Egypt’s abysmal human rights record and violations against refugees and migrants, the EU has announced deepening ties with Egypt, including on migration and border control cooperation.

Keep legal gender recognition and gender-affirming healthcare legal and accessible for all.

[Amnesty Slovakia @AmnestySlovakia]

Fortunately, the National Council of the Slovak Republic did not move to the second reading of the proposal to amend Act No. 301/1995 Coll. on the birth number. The fact that 23 of MPs supported the de facto impossibility of legal recognition, should be a warning sign.

[Amnesty Slovakia @AmnestySlovakia]

“However, it must not end with rejecting this harmful law. The Slovak political scene must stop attacking LGBTI+ people. At the same time, we call on the Minister of Health to reinstate the expert documents that standardize medical transition procedures.

[Amnesty Slovakia @AmnestySlovakia]

For this reason and many more, Amnesty International is calling on @MariaMalovaEU and
@SlovakiaMFA that Slovakia should vote in favour of Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.

[Amnesty Slovakia @AmnestySlovakia]

Amnesty International has documented the devasting human rights impacts of corporations for more than 20 years; from oil pollution in the Niger Delta, and forced labour on palm oil plantations in Indonesia, to the misuse of spyware to target and intimidate human rights defenders.

The CSDDD is an opportunity for policymakers in the European Union to enact ground-breaking binding obligations requiring businesses operating in the EU to address their human rights and environmental risks and impacts.
