Appreciated the wide-ranging conversations on human rights in Greece & globally - with government, parliamentarians, civil society, & academia. Human rights remain central to address complex challenges both domestically and multilaterally @GCRefugees @uoaofficial @migrationgovgr

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

An Israeli offensive in #Rafah would mean more civilian suffering & deaths. The consequences would be devastating for 1.4 million people

@UNRWA is not evacuating: the Agency will maintain a presence in Rafah as long as possible & will continue providing lifesaving aid to people

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk and UNHCR High Commissioner @FilippoGrandi call on the #UK government to reconsider its plan to transfer asylum-seekers to #Rwanda.

New legislation seriously hinders the rule of law in the UK and sets a perilous precedent globally.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk horrified by the deadly attack at Crocus City Hall, Moscow. Nothing justifies such an attack. Perpetrators must be held accountable in line with human rights law. Our solidarity with the victims of this shocking violence.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Life is draining out of Gaza at terrifying speed.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

We are appalled at the news that Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny has died in prison.

The Russian authorities must ensure a credible investigation into Navalny's death & end the persecution of politicians, human rights defenders & journalists, among others.

#Greece: We welcome Parliament’s vote to open marriage to same-sex couples. It is a landmark win for human rights, & a big step forward towards #LGBTQ+ equality 🏳️‍🌈

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

Our hearts are heavy to learn of the killing of a @PalestineRCS staff member last night. Humanitarian workers and medical personnel are #NotATarget.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Hostilities in Gaza are about to enter their fifth month. Here are FIVE facts you need to know.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

One year since the devastating #earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria, humanitarian agencies warn that the work is far from done, and that the affected populations need help as much as ever.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Divisive rhetoric & misinformation are casting migrants as scapegoats for societal challenges.

Amid 2024 elections, let's see through these politics of distraction & fear, stop the 'us vs them' mentality & work together for effective solutions.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Everyone should be able to move safely.

Migration pathways ensure safe & regular migration. Without them, migrants face dangers & rights violations.

The death penalty is an anachronism that doesn’t belong in the 21st Century.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Important exchanges with President Mattarella, Gov't officials, Senate & civil society on discrimination, migration, economic inequalities, global development & more.

Very thankful for their steadfast support & look forward to our continued work to advance rights for everyone.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Inspiring talk w/ filmmaker Matteo Garrone on the power of storytelling in building bridges, empathy & reminding us of our shared humanity.

Moved by his film "lo Capitano" on migrants' & refugees' journeys. People just like you & me w/ equal dreams & rights to dignity & freedom.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

To be able to deliver effective humanitarian aid in Gaza:

we need safety,

we need equipment,

we need more crossing points,

we need access to the north.

I call for rapid, safe, unhindered, expanded & sustained humanitarian access throughout Gaza.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Despite conflicts that may divide us, it's in the pursuit of peace, justice & equality that we discover our common ground.

Respect for everyone's rights is the tried & true way to overcome crisis & ensure a better future for all.

The time for human rights is now. #HumanRights75

The resumption of hostilities in #Gaza is catastrophic. All parties & States w influence must redouble efforts, immediately, to ensure a ceasefire – on humanitarian and human rights grounds.

The situation is beyond crisis point - @volker_turk
