Forced from home and often struggling to survive—this is the reality for millions of refugees and displaced people.

At a time of shrinking financial support, we cannot look away from those forced to flee. Protecting human rights and standing in solidarity define our humanity.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

We deeply regret the adoption of new European Union regulation allowing speedy deportations of migrants and asylum-seekers. @volker_turk urges consistency with human rights and refugee law.

Human rights are delivering safety, dignity and freedom for millions of people every day – despite serious challenges. In my global update to @UN_HRC, I call on States to put people first and choose dialogue over division.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

I condemn disinformation campaigns & attempts to undermine the credibility of the UN human rights system, including @UN_SPExperts mandate holders.
Criticism & debate are legitimate & necessary; efforts to intimidate, discredit, or even sanction, are not.
They are unacceptable. - UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk

BREAKING - A Swiss Tribunal recognises the legitimate right to peacefully oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

One again: justice for Palestine starts at home. It only takes people caring and applying Intl Law. And persevering.

The UN Human Rights Regional Office for South-East Asia joined the UN family at the #BangkokPride Parade, standing in solid solidarity with LGBTIQ+ people and communities as well as human rights defenders. 🏳️‍🌈

We march to celebrate the courage, creativity, and contributions of LGBTIQ+ people across the region and worldwide.

But celebration must go hand-in-hand with action. Together, we must end violence and discrimination against LGBTIQ+ people.

Today and every day, let us stand together for the freedom to live and love freely.

[Javier Palummo @jpalummo]

The ICJ has issued a landmark Advisory Opinion affirming that the right to strike is protected under ILO Convention No. 87.

A major decision for freedom of association, labour rights, social dialogue, and human rights worldwide.
