The newly elected US Congress should prioritize respect and protection for human rights both within the US and around the world.
Lawmakers should challenge the Trump administration’s many abuses, embrace the oversight authority provided to Congress, and act decisively to respect, protect, and fulfill human rights. https://t.co/1PUXSVKsFy
Don't be fooled: As the Israeli government continues its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and military strikes across the region, the only way for the U.S. to stop enabling these crimes is to immediately implement a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel and say no to U.S.-Israel military integration and co-production. https://t.co/eD4UIAa0n6

Op 25 september lanceerde het CIDI een lastercampagne tegen een Palestijnse student aan de Universiteit Maastricht. In de dagen erna kwam een hetze op gang die nergens op bleek te berusten. Toen was de schade al aangericht. https://t.co/8a2TkdlXRm

Once again, Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for Palestinian families across the occupied West Bank.
The series of attacks by settlers over the weekend against Palestinian residents of Khirbet Abu Falah and Taybeh in the Ramallah area, which also targeted a Washington Post photojournalist and a delegation of European diplomats, offer a glimpse into a reality of relentless aggression against Palestinians.
Attempts by senior Israeli officials and electoral candidates across the political spectrum to portray this state-sponsored brutality as the work of a few individuals are a blatant distortion of reality.
Amnesty International has long been sounding the alarm over the exponential rise in state-driven settler violence against Palestinians, which has sought, through terror-inspiring means, to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from the occupied West Bank.
This rise of violence has been fuelled by the international community’s persistent failure to take meaningful action against the very system enabling the continued oppression of Palestinians. These attacks must generate a strong response by states that claim to oppose Israel’s annexation of Palestinian territory, its continuous settlement expansion and state-driven settler violence.
NEW: The Vietnamese government is systematically suppressing the rights of workers to organize independent unions despite trade agreements that require it to support labor rights.
