Sudan remains one of the world's gravest human rights and humanitarian crises. #HRC62 must reinforce the international commitment to civilian protection, unhindered humanitarian access, and accountability for violations by all parties to the conflict. #Sudan #HumanRights #InternationalHumanitarianLaw

Congratulations on your tournament. Football is at its best when it unites people beyond politics. The World Cup should always celebrate respect, fairness, and unity. We also hope future competitions ensure that every national team is given the same opportunity to prepare and compete on equal terms.

Hospitals must never become targets. HRIUI latest video asks why healthcare facilities, ambulances, and medical institutions in Iran came under attack during the 2026 war—and what remains of international humanitarian law when the places designed to save lives are themselves endangered.

"Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization."

Let us remember Mahatma Gandhi’s wise counsel that the magnificent diversity of our human family is a treasure, not a threat.

Human rights experts warn of shrinking free expression in the AI era and rising “media deserts,” alongside widening global rights gaps.

Political transition does not automatically bring human rights protection. HRIUI’s latest report examines the human rights situation in #Syria during the 2025–2026 transition period, highlighting the challenges of accountability, civilian protection, justice, and democratic governance in a fragile post-conflict environment.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Asylum is not a privilege. It is a lifeline for people forced to flee.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett shares why the right to seek safety matters more than ever.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Seeking safety is not a privilege. It is a human right.

For millions of refugees, safety means everything.

A safe place to sleep. A child returning to school. A family staying together. A chance to dream about tomorrow instead of fearing what comes next.

On Saturday's World Refugee Day, we stand with refugees everywhere and reaffirm a simple promise: that every person forced to flee deserves protection, dignity, and hope.

Because refugee rights are human rights.

Until everyone is safe, the work is not done.

A classroom should never become a target! HRIUI’s latest video reflects on the tragedy of #Minab, where two missiles attacked a primary school in Iran, raising concern about the universal duty to protect children in armed conflict. https://t.co/aoYVFjiZYk

Iran’s national team had been assured by #FIFA that they would arrive in #LosAngeles two days before their match against Belgium. They have now been informed that they will only be allowed to arrive tomorrow, just one day before kickoff. This is Absolutely unacceptable. World Cup teams deserve equal conditions, not last-minute restrictions that undermine preparation, recovery, and fairness. FIFA must explain why Iran is being allowed to arrive only one day before a decisive match against Belgium. @FIFAcom

Happy 20th anniversary to the UN Human Rights Council. The fight for human rights continues, and so must our commitment to dignity, justice, and accountability for all.

[UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC]

It is 20 years to the day since the @UN Human Rights Council began its work as the world’s principal forum tasked with promoting and defending fundamental rights everywhere, particularly the world’s most vulnerable people.

Indeed climate hazards are not abstract environmental risks, they are direct threats to children’s rights, health, education, and future. HRIUI affirms that urgent climate action must be child-centered. #ForEveryChild

The UN Human Rights Council held its first session on this day 20 years ago.

Lives protected. Rights defended. Justice pursued.
