In the session on Conflict-Related Disabilities and Access to Justice, panelists are examining the structural, procedural, and attitudinal barriers faced by persons with disabilities. The discussion also highlights the harmful stereotypes and discrimination that continue to exclude them—particularly women with disabilities—from access to and meaningful participation in transitional justice processes.

The @ICJ_ORG calls on #Tunisia to hold all those responsible for these attacks to account, take concrete steps to combat hate speech and racism against Sub-Saharan migrants and #refugees, ensure their rights and dignity, and protect @UNHCR’s personnel & premises. (3/3)

[اللجنة الدولية للحقوقيين | ICJ MENA @ICJ_MENA]

...against migrants and humanitarian actors. These acts of violence reflect the normalisation of hate speech & racial discrimination against #migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, and must be immediately investigated by the #Tunisian authorities. (2/3)

#Tunisia: @ICJ_ORG is alarmed by videos circulating on social media documenting violent attacks against Sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia, including a pregnant woman assaulted in the street. Calls for demonstrations in front of @UNHCR in Tunis risk inciting further violence...(1/3)

📌 The @ICJ_Asia, together with @EarthRightsIntl, the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law (@IHRP_UofT), and a community member from Kyauk Phyu Township, filed a complaint with Canada’s National Contact Point concerning the role of Canadian company Hatch Associates Ltd. in a major infrastructure project in Rakhine State, #Myanmar.

The complaint raises concerns regarding the environmental impact assessment process for the project in a conflict zone, including the absence of meaningful consultation with affected communities amid ongoing armed conflict and widespread human rights violations.

🇹🇭 #Thailand | On 22 May 2026, the @ICJ_Asia, together with partners, convened a seminar at the Parliament Building in Bangkok bringing together representatives from the judiciary, prosecution, government agencies, civil society, and affected communities to discuss reforms needed to address strategic lawsuits against public participation (#SLAPPs) in Thailand.

Speakers shared how SLAPPs continue to place heavy burdens on activists, journalists, human rights defenders, and others speaking out in the public interest, while highlighting persistent gaps in legal protections and procedures to prevent litigation from being used to silence public participation.

📌 The @ICJ_Asia welcomes the publication of the Thai Supreme Court President’s Recommendations on the adjudication of cases filed in bad faith on 29 May 2026, marking an important development in efforts to address strategic lawsuits against public participation (#SLAPPs) in #Thailand.

The guidance seeks to clarify the application of Section 161/1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, including circumstances in which courts may dismiss cases brought in bad faith. While the development is welcome, significant gaps remain, particularly in relation to civil proceedings and public prosecutions, where many SLAPP cases continue to arise.
