We are appalled by the Trump administration’s crude assault on well-established principles of international law, say @mandeep_tiwana1 and @MariyaParodi of @CIVICUSalliance. https://t.co/0bj5ETMdGD

I have no news about my detained father in Syria. Like millions of Syrians, I’m torn between hope & fear.

We’re searching through harrowing videos, clinging to any chance. Yet, Key international humanitarian organisations are absent.

The weight of waiting is heavier than ever

[NUFC Fans Against Sportswashing @NoSaudiToon]

We call on FIFA to halt the process to pick Saudi Arabia as hosts of the 2034 World Cup before the vote next month. Amnesty International, the Sport & Rights Alliance (SRA) and other human rights groups are also calling for the same.

Today FIFA is set to award Saudi Arabia the 2034 World Cup.

I spoke this morning with @SkyNews about the country’s labour rights record and the impacts the 2034 World Cup may have on migrant workers.

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

As late as yesterday, members of Fifa's Council did not know how tomorrow's World Cup 2030 and 2034 "acclamations" would be confirmed

One suggestion, only half-joking, was they'd "count the applause"

There is virtually no scope for dissent

@hrw @Mustafa_Qadri @jpmlynch @Rothna_Begum @ituc @EquidemOrg ♦️Every sponsor, business, broadcaster+national team associated with the #Saudi2034 World Cup will be tainted by widespread labor abuses unless urgent human rights+labor reforms are implemented—which @FIFAcom has exerted zero effort to achieve so far:

♦️Red Card for #FIFA’s Saudi World Cup

In a betrayal of #HumanRights, FIFA gave its “highest ever score” to #SaudiArabia, which has no labor unions, no press freedom, and a deeply repressive government that punishes any dissent.

Daraa is free of Assad today 💚 We remember Hamza Al-Khatib, the first child to be tortured to death by the regime in the 2011 revolution.

Stand with the people of Syria ✌🏽

[CIVICUS Monitor @CIVICUSMonitor]

For the 2nd year in a row, #COP29 is in a country reliant on fossil fuel extraction, where dissent is criminalized, and activists are detained.

Like the #UAE, #Azerbaijan is using the meeting as a public relations exercise. @ptrvctr writes for @Newsweek: https://t.co/8nIdVoAFpa

[CIVICUS Monitor @CIVICUSMonitor]

🇺🇳The annual climate change negotiations (#COP29) is the largest civil society gathering on the UN calendar.

🇦🇿Yet, the meeting is once again hosted in a country where activism and dissent are not tolerated. #Azerbaijan is on latest watchlist: https://t.co/tqHXAhA6dK

[CIVICUS @CIVICUSalliance]

🇦🇿#Azerbaijan, host of #COP29, is known for violating civic freedoms. The government must protect #civicspace and uphold #humanrights as the summit gets underway.

[Lauren Boland @laurenanna_1]

John Podesta, senior advisor on climate to US President Joe Biden, answering the question on everyone's mind at #COP29 - says US election outcome was “bitterly disappointing” for climate

“It's clear that the next administration will try to make a U-turn and reverse progress”

[Ben Spencer @Ben_Spencer]

Biden's climate envoy John Podesta: climate change "is a matter of life and death". And when Trump says he will dismantle the fight against global warming "we should believe him". #cop29

"The Rome Statute outlaws and aims to punish crimes against humanity committed by individuals, among other crimes. But a dedicated Crimes Against Humanity Convention would move beyond this framework by adding duties of states." 👏

"Having fewer prying eyes benefits evil deeds. And evil deeds are what we can expect as Trump and his true-believing cronies begin to rebuild the government in their leader's corrupt image."
