We are alarmed by the decision of some countries to suspend funding to @UNRWA, which is a lifeline for millions of Palestinians.

In Gaza, the humanitarian crisis has reached catastrophic levels. Any additional limitations on aid will result in more deaths and suffering...

[Erika Guevara Rosas @ErikaGuevaraR]

The @CIJ_ICJ has ruled there is a real and imminent risk of irreparable harm to Palestinians in #Gaza. The warning signs of #Genocide have been enlisted by the court: large numbers of death, extensive damage to civilian infrastructure, humanitarian catastrophe, etc.

This is the research of investigative journalists.

It is not surprising, but still shows how the Far Right in Germany wants to destroy our democracy based on rule of law and fundamental rights. And how they are supported by influential people.

One good news in this ocean of horrific sufferings: the UK Supreme Court ruled today that the UK Refugee Rwanda policy is unlawful. This is what an independent Judiciary can achieve, protecting rights, incl against political and public pressure https://t.co/xHvJ1prfdH

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

On average, one child is killed and two are injured every 10 minutes during the war in #Gaza.

Protecting civilians in times of conflict is an obligation and a commitment to our shared humanity.

Civilians - wherever they are - must be protected. #NotATarget

“I am struck by the alarming level of tolerance to serious human rights violations against refugees, asylum seekers and migrants that has developed across Europe,” says Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, @Dunja_Mijatovic, in Lampedusa today. https://t.co/SVFzno16TO

Ever since demonstrations erupted across #Iran, schoolgirls have been at the forefront of growing outrage.

They’ve been protesting in their schools and the streets, chanting “Woman, Life, Freedom,” and removing, waving, and burning their head coverings.

Thousands of people in over 200 cities around the world came to the streets on October 1 in support of Iranians and their fight for freedom.

The next global protest for Iran is on October 8. Let’s show up for Iranians again!

Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have threatened to drag the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights #ECHR, putting everyone in harm's way - unless we stop them.

“It is to be hoped that the Met will now turn its focus and resources towards protecting women from violence rather than seeking to silence those who speak up against it, and towards rebuilding the trust damaged by their decisions” - ⁦@PippaWoodrow⁩ https://t.co/MY7JgUNMZ1

A reminder: Forcing someone to carry an unwanted pregnancy, or forcing them to seek out an unsafe abortion, is a violation of their human rights, including the rights to privacy and bodily autonomy.
