Targeting judges for doing their job is an attack on judicial independence and undermines the rule of law. FIDH again urges ICC States Parties & the EU to:
🚨 condemn this interference
🛡️ protect the Court from political pressure
⚖️ uphold victims’ right to justice

[FIDH @fidh_en]

🚨 New US sanctions against @IntlCrimCourt judges Gocha Lordkipanidze (Georgia) & Erdenebalsuren Damdin (Mongolia) are a blatant attempt to intimidate the #ICC and obstruct accountability for atrocity crimes in #Palestine and beyond.

🔴 Attending a memorial service in Iran now means arrest and beating.

Over 50 people were detained on December 12 by Iranian plainclothes agents in Mashhad, the second-most-populous city in Iran, including Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi.

[FIDH @fidh_en]

She’s also accused of "collaborating with Israel." If convicted, Mohammadi faces 15+ years, 154 lashes, and various bans.

Thailand wants to join the OECD, but its human rights record tells a different story.

Our letter with 7 partners flags critical gaps in OECD entry:

❌ Repressive laws: 285+ charged under Article 112 of the Criminal Code

❌ Labor violations, with migrants denied basic rights

[FIDH @fidh_en]

❌ Environmental failures: flawed oversight, forced evictions

❌ SLAPPs silencing defenders

❌ Impunity for Thai companies & investors' negative impacts abroad

OECD membership demands democracy & rule of law. It’s imperative for Thailand to comply.

Our hearts are with them, their families, and all Viasna colleagues, especially Marfa Rabkova, whose situation remains uncertain.
Now more than ever, we must continue to support accountability, justice and human rights in Belarus and worldwide.

FIDH members in the Americas condemn growing US hostility toward Latin America. UN experts demand justice for 80 civilians killed in 21 Caribbean Sea attacks.

We call on @OAS_official to uphold sovereignty, international law & human rights.

We were advocating for this throughout the Assembly.

FIDH actively participated in #ASP24 in The Hague last week. For the first time, @IntlCrimCourt States Parties collectively condemned sanctions against CSOs and UN experts. They also issued an unprecedented joint declaration expressing solidarity with the Court.

[FIDH @fidh_en]

States now need to turn their solidarity into action, ensuring the ICC and civil society can operate without political or financial obstruction.

[FIDH @fidh_en]

The ICC arrest warrant reflects a narrow view by excluding sub-Saharan African detainees. The Libya investigation has long overlooked international crimes against migrants and refugees.This cannot continue at this crucial moment for Libyan victims.

[FIDH @fidh_en]

🔴On 1 Dec German authorities surrendered Libyan suspect El Hishri to the @IntlCrimCourt. His transfer marks a key step toward justice for victims of grave crimes in Libya and successful cooperation with the Court.

[FIDH @fidh_en]

El Hishri is suspected of committing or overseeing crimes against humanity and war crimes between 2015 and early 2020, including murder, torture, cruel treatment, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution, and outrages upon personal dignity, at Tripoli’s Mitiga Prison.
