MEPs and NGOs @EvinIncir @EuropeanWomen @picum_ngo break down how the @EUCouncil prioritised "border control over human rights" and snubbed the "best tool we have" when it comes to rape prosecutions

[Gabriela Galindo - archived @gabgr]

it's #IWD2024 and, by now, nonconsensual sex=rape could be an EU-wide crime which all victims, even if undocumented, could safely report – but many EU countries chose to scrap that from an otherwise unprecedented EU law against gender violence. https://t.co/kgF6Yr5aHI

Service tweet: Some ask why it’s controversial if countries want to decide who they accept.

Well, there’s human rights & right to asylum. If you have an approved reason to stay, EU countries can’t say: No, not you because of your religion/skin color

That’s discrimination/racism

Migration drama now at EU leaders’ summit!

Hungary and Poland block conclusions on migration, say they cannot agree unless Polish lines are included. They demand lots of controversial things, e.g. countries should be able “to decide who they accept on their territory.”

This might seem like a remarkably generic image, but Apple is trying to copyright it in Switzerland – and has made dozens of similar requests to intellectual property authorities across the world.

Fun fact, Apple's Mac computers are actually named after a juicy little apple variety called.... the Macintosh apple. 🍎🍏

The world's top human rights watchdog @UNHumanRights has got its hands full, but chief @volker_turk told me $$ is in the red even as needs soar. 'I'm amazed' at how countries splurge on failing banks, arms – but not on 'people.'👀 for @genevasolutions

6/ While keeping more countries from falling into crisis is vital, humanitarians said leaders must look beyond trade tweaks if they want to turn the tide on catastrophic hunger levels @MSF_Suisse @ifrc @ACF_France @FIANista for @GenevaSolutions

[Gabriela Galindo - archived @gabgr]

As the Black Sea grain deal's fate hangs in the balance, concerns are growing that global hunger will worsen if Moscow walks.

But humanitarians on the crisis’ deadliest fronts have a message: the deal’s spoils aren’t reaching the world’s hungriest🧵1/https://t.co/mbfa6Z3DT2

[Gabriela Galindo - archived @gabgr]

5/EU+UN have repeatedly claimed the deal has mostly benefited developing countries, but fail to mention that China, the deal's single largest shopper, is still considered a developing economy, just like Turkey.
