"The BHREA would be a win for people, the planet and business. Can the Labour Party afford NOT to adopt a world-leading BHREA?"

Thank you to @UNISON_global for sharing your thoughts with us.

[UNISON International @UNISON_global]

We agree with HO Minister @jessphillips today - the UK needs stronger regulation. The Biz, Human Rights and Enviro Act we have drafted with our partner @CorpJusticeUK, and includes the public sector, is fit for purpose. Recently, @LabourCHR asked us how https://t.co/7wJqPdJHyQ

Delighted my campaign to protect human rights in energy supply chains resulted in @Ed_Miliband committing to:

Great to have been out canvassing for @alistrathern this morning and afternoon.

Lots of people on the doorstep saying they're going to vote Labour and know Alistair is the only way to keep the Tories out.

[Labour Campaign for Human Rights @LabourCHR]

We've been working with @AmnestyUK on a series of essays defining practical human rights-centred policymaking.

As we gear up to the general election next week, read these to understand why any Government must begin with enshrining human rights.

⚖️ Insightful article by @JennionJames for @TheBFPG, on how the government's domestic disregard for human rights threatens to undermine the UK's defence of international law

[Labour Campaign for Human Rights @LabourCHR]

The story of Ali Julood shows the devastation caused by UK oil giants internationally. Aged just 15 he was diagnosed with leukemia from flaring from a nearby oilfield, contracted by BP.

Read about his father's fight, to protect others from the same pain:

[UN Women @UN_Women]

The war on #Gaza is a war on women.

More than 540,000 women and girls in Gaza are of reproductive age and urgently need access to appropriate items to support hygiene, health, dignity, and well-being.

🗳️ The deadline to register to vote in time for the May elections is midnight tonight. It is vital that we have representatives who are committed to upholding human rights at home and abroad- go to to https://t.co/9xh3iXsS4B to make sure that you can have your say

[Labour Campaign for Human Rights @LabourCHR]

While more should be done to tackle long-term vacancies, the housing crisis cannot be solved without prioritising the building of 100,000s of affordable and environmentally friendly houses. Housing and the safety and dignity it affords is a fundamental human right we campaign on

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

“Just building more homes on its own is not going to tackle the housing crisis”

Green co-leader Carla Denyer says the housing crisis needs to be addressed by making homes that are built more affordable and “bringing empty homes... into use”

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency is essential to delivering the aid we all know is desparately needed in Gaza, and it is unacceptable the government are stalling on this. The funding must be resumed without delay

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

The UK is one of the last major donors that hasn’t announced a resumption of funding to UNRWA.

Time has run out for hundreds of thousands of people without food, water or basic essentials.

My letter urgently calling for a clear and fast path for UNRWA funding to resume. 👇

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

26 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was signed - one of Labour's proudest achievements.

Courageous leadership like Mo Mowlam's brought peace and power-sharing to Northern Ireland.

Today, we celebrate the progress made since then and must never take it for granted.

[Labour Campaign for Human Rights @LabourCHR]

🏠 Great to see Sadiq's plans to build 6000 more affordable homes, take action on bad landlords, and protect renters

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Renters are at the sharp end of the country’s housing crisis. I’ve been calling for the power to freeze rents in the capital for years, but the Government has refused.

If I'm re-elected as Mayor, we'll deliver 6000 new rent control homes across London.
